Profit distribution standard in the evaluation phases
How each day's share of the phase target is calculated, and what happens at review if that share exceeds the 40% standard.
To pass a phase, the profit target has to be the result of consistent trading rather than one exceptional day. For that reason, the countable share of any single day is set at 40% of that phase's target. A day above that standard does not breach or close the account; it is only assessed at the final phase review, and the result is adjusted if needed.
What exactly is “gross profit”?
The standard is measured on the gross profit of the winning trades closed that day. Losing trades, commission and other costs are not deducted from that figure.
If the account is below its initial balance, the profit spent returning it to that balance is not subject to this standard. The measurement starts from the profit made after the account is back at its initial balance.
- In one day your winning trades made $5,000 of profit.
- The same day, losing trades gave back $2,000.
- Net profit for the day: $3,000
- Gross profit for the day: $5,000 ← this is what is measured
If that phase's countable share is $3,200, this day is above the 40% standard — because the basis is the $5,000 gross profit, not the $3,000 net profit.
What happens when a day is above the standard
If a day's gross profit is above the 40% standard, that day's profit is not counted towards the phase target at the final review. This is not a breach and the account is not closed. If the target is still incomplete after the adjustment, the account is reactivated and you can carry on trading until the conditions are met.
- Phase target: $8,000
- Countable share per day: up to $3,200
- Gross profit made in one day: $5,500
Here the day's share is above the 40% standard, so that day's profit is not counted towards phase completion at the final review. The account is neither breached nor closed, and if the target is incomplete after the adjustment you may continue trading.

Frequently asked questions
Are the same day's losses deducted from the winning trades?
The measure is that day's closed gross profit. If the account was below its initial balance, the part of the profit spent on recovery is not subject to this cap and only the surplus is measured.
How do I check my status before the phase ends?
Your dashboard shows the number of qualifying trades, the number of qualifying days, and the largest single-day share of the phase target. Check those three figures before requesting phase completion.
