How many minimum trading days are required for FTT Funded Challenges?

Last updated on May 21, 2025

Two-phase accounts: A minimum of 5 trading days is required in each phase.

One-phase accounts: At least 5 trading days are required.

Instant accounts: At least 10 trading days to request payouts are required

Weekends do not count as trading days.

Please note that we define a trading day as a day when you open and close a trade on the same day. Trades opened on one day and closed on a different day will count as just one trading day.

However, it is not allowed to reduce the risk in an exaggerated way or to perform trades with opening and closing in significantly less time than usual.

If you make hasty trades or reduce the risk drastically just to meet the minimum trading days, your test will be invalidated and the challenge will be reset.

Two-phase accounts:

Traders can experience a maximum daily loss of 5% of their starting balance. For example, if the account starts with $100,000, the daily loss limit will be $5,000. This threshold does not change, regardless of whether the trader makes a profit or suffers a loss. If at any time during the day the sum of open and closed losses exceeds $5,000, it will be considered a violation of the Daily Loss rule.

One-stage accounts:

In this type of account, the maximum loss allowed per day equals 3% of the starting balance. If a trader starts with $100,000, his daily loss limit will be $3,000. This cap remains unchanged, regardless of whether the trader generates profits or losses. If at any time during the day total losses, including ongoing and closed trades, exceed $3,000, it will be considered a violation of the Daily Loss Limit.
