Minimum Trading Days vs. Profitable Days: How it works

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

These rules apply to all challenge types unless otherwise specified.

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 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)

• This could count as 3 Profitable Days (if you book profit on each day by closing part of the trade and your balance increases daily)

👉 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.

• 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.
