Minimum trading days

How it works

A minimum days rule means you can't pass or request a payout before you've traded a set number of days. If you hit the target on day 2 of a plan with a 5-day minimum, you usually still need to trade on three more days.

Day 2Target reached, but only 2 days counted
Days 3 to 5Trade small to log the days, without risking your gain
Day 5Minimum met, you pass

What counts as a day

Any trade: a single small trade counts on some plans.
A qualifying day: others only count days with a minimum profit, such as 0.5% of the account or a set dollar amount. These take far longer to collect.
A funded version: payouts may need several winning days per cycle, even if the evaluation had no minimum.

Minimum days by firm

As of November 12, 2026, PropTested holds a minimum days figure for 79 of the 86 firms it tracks. A firm is listed in every group where it has a plan, so firms with a mix of plans appear more than once.

Why it matters

A plan showing "1 minimum day" may still pay out only after 5 qualifying days. Read minimum days and payout terms together. On monthly plans, a long minimum also means you may pay for another month.

Every firm words this differently. Before you buy, read the exact rule on the firm's own page, which we link on each plan.
