What is the difference between a trading day and an active day?
The exact definition of each, how many you need per phase and on a funded account, and which of them can never breach your account.
A “trading day” is a day on which at least one position was closed. An “active day” simply means one calendar day has passed since the account was created — no trade is required.
| Criterion | Trading day | Active day |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | A day with at least one closed position | One calendar day since the account was created |
| Requires a trade | Yes | No |
| Requires a profit or loss | No | No |
| Required per challenge phase | 3 | 5 |
| Required on a funded account | None | 20 before the first payout, then 14 |
If the required active days are not complete, the phase or payout cannot be approved — but the account is never breached merely because the active days are unfinished.
| Product | Phase one | Phase two | Phase three | Funded account |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Phoenix | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Triple | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Trading days are required in the challenge phases only; active days apply to both the challenge and the funded account.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I hit the target before completing my trading days?
The phase is not complete yet; you need to keep trading until the minimum trading-day condition is also met.
Can I see my active-day status?
Yes. Active days are shown in your account dashboard, so you can check where you stand before requesting phase completion or a payout.
