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

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.

What is the Consistency Rule, and why do I need it to withdraw my profits?

Application: This rule only applies to Advanced and Master accounts. It does not apply to Experienced accounts. Purpose: The Consistency Rule is a requirement designed to ensure a balanced distribution of your profits in relation to your winning trades. Its goal is to prevent withdrawals based on a few highly profitable trades, thus promoting more stable and sustainable performance. Conditions: - To calculate the Consistency Rule, you must have completed a minimum of 10 trades. - No more than 40% of your total profits can be generated within a single 24-hour period. In other words, 40% or more of your profits cannot come from trades closed within the same 24-hour period. Non-compliance: If you do not meet this rule, your trading account will remain active, allowing you to continue trading until you meet the requirement necessary to request a withdrawal. Is there a Consistency Rule during the evaluation phase? No, the Consistency Rule does not apply during the evaluation phase. However, it is not allowed to drastically reduce your risk or to open and close trades in a significantly shorter time than usual. If you execute rushed trades or drastically reduce your risk just to meet the minimum trading days requirement, your evaluation will be invalidated and the challenge will be restarted. Consistency Rule Update - June 25, 2025 The Consistency Rule has been updated to improve the fairness and transparency of the withdrawal process. If you requested a withdrawal under the previous rules and your request was rejected for not complying with the previous rule, you may contact us to request a review as long as you comply with the new conditions set forth in this update. Previously acquired accounts will be subject to the rule that favors the trader.
