Traders who receive instant funding are required to have at least 5 separate trading days where they earn a profit of at least 0.5% on each day. They are also called profitable trading days.
These 5 days don’t need to be consecutive, and traders can take as long as they need to achieve them, even over multiple days/weeks/months. In between, traders can make smaller profits, but those won’t count toward the 5-day requirement.
Example:
On Monday, the trader makes a 0.7% profit. That day counts because it’s above 0.5%.
On Tuesday, they make a 0.3% profit. While this is a smaller profit, it doesn’t count toward the requirement.
On Thursday, they make a 1.4% profit, which counts as their second day.
Two weeks later, they make another 0.6% profit. Now, they’ve 3 profitable trading days, even though it took multiple days, with smaller profits in between.
Three days later, the trader makes a 0.8% profit. That day counts as their 4th profitable trading day.
The following week, they have a break-even day (0.0%) and then a small profit of 0.2%, but neither of these count toward the requirement.
A few days later, the trader makes a 1.1% profit, which qualifies as their 5th profitable trading day.
Now, they have achieved the requirement of 5 profitable trading days with at least 0.5% profit on each and can proceed to the next stage.
