Minimum Trading Days vs. Profitable Days: How it works

2 min read

At Funded7, we want to reward consistency, not just lucky trades. That’s why our trading rules require:

Minimum of 3 Trading Days
Minimum of 3 Profitable Days
Minimum Profit Per Day: 0.5% of your previous day’s balance and equity level

These rules apply to all challenge types unless otherwise specified. Resets are applied when moving from phase to phase, when moving from phase to funded, and after each successful payout.

What Does This Mean? #

Even if you hit your profit target quickly—whether in a single trade or one day—you must:

  • Trade for at least 3 separate days

  • Have at least 3 days with profits

  • Make a minimum of 0.5% profit (based on the previous day’s ending balance) on each profitable day

Important: The trading days don’t need to be consecutive.

🆚 Difference Between Trading Days and Profitable Days #

It’s essential to understand that a Trading Day is not the same as a Profitable Day.

  • A Trading Day = A day in which you open a new position.

  • A Profitable Day = A day in which both your Balance and Equity increase compared to the previous day’s ending balance and equity level, and you must close at least part of a position to lock in profit.

Example: #

If you open a trade on Day 1 and keep it open for three days, even if you partially close some profits each day:

  • This counts as 1 Trading Day (because you only opened a position on Day 1)

  • If you have big winning trade at the end of Day 1 close half and leave the other half for Day 2:
    This profit will not count for Day 2 as the equity gain has already been recorded in Day 1

👉 You must meet both the minimum Trading Days and Profitable Days requirements.

Example with a $50,000 Two-Phase Challenge #

Let’s say you are trading a $50,000 account.

Day Starting Balance and Equity Minimum Profit Required (0.5%) Example Profit
1 $50,000 $250 $1000
2 $51,000 $255 $1000
3 $52,000 $260 $1200
  • Traded on 3 different days

  • Made profit each day

  • Profit exceeded the minimum 0.5% per day

Why This Rule Exists #

We want to see consistent, responsible trading—not one lucky trade.
This rule helps prevent:

  • Oversized, one-shot trades

  • High-risk scalping to pass quickly

  • Short-term strategies that aren’t sustainable

It promotes fairness, discipline, and real trading skills.
