Blueberry Funded Minimum Trading Days Rule Explained
Blueberry Funded
Quick Answer
Blueberry Funded requires traders to complete at least 3 trading days before the profit target counts during evaluation phases.
The rule is calculated by counting calendar days where at least one trade is executed. Only trades that are opened and closed count toward the minimum trading days requirement. If you reach your profit target before completing 3 trading days, you cannot pass the evaluation phase until the minimum day requirement is met.

Common Mistakes
Hitting profit target early
Traders reach their profit target on day 1 or 2 and assume they've passed the evaluation. At Blueberry Funded, even if you make $8,000 profit on a $100,000 account in 2 days, you must continue trading for at least one more day before the profit target officially counts toward passing the phase.
Counting non-trading days
Some traders think calendar days without trades count toward the 3-day requirement. Only days where you actually open and close positions count as trading days. If you trade Monday, skip Tuesday-Thursday, then trade Friday, you've only completed 2 trading days, not 5.
Opening without closing trades
Traders open positions but leave them running overnight, thinking this counts as a trading day. At Blueberry Funded, a trading day requires both opening and closing at least one position. Simply having open positions without closing any trades means that day doesn't count toward your 3-day minimum.
Weekend trading confusion
Traders attempt to count weekend days when markets are closed or have limited activity. Since most major markets are closed on weekends, these days typically cannot count toward trading day requirements. You need to complete your 3 trading days during regular market hours on business days when your chosen instruments are actively trading.
Protection Strategies
Plan for minimum 5 trading days
Always plan your evaluation to span at least 5 trading days, giving yourself a 2-day buffer above the 3-day minimum. This ensures you have time to meet the requirement even if you hit your profit target early or need to take a conservative approach on certain days.
Use smaller position sizes initially
Start with 0.5-1% risk per trade in your first 3 days to avoid hitting profit targets too quickly. This controlled approach ensures you can complete the minimum trading days requirement while building consistent profits rather than achieving your target in just 1-2 days.
Set trading day completion alerts
Track your completed trading days daily and set reminders to ensure you've closed at least one position each day. Keep a simple log showing Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 with checkmarks only after you've both opened and closed trades to avoid miscounting your progress.
Avoid all-in profit target strategies
Never attempt to hit your entire profit target in the first few days, even if market conditions seem favorable. Spreading your profit target achievement across at least 3 trading days ensures compliance while demonstrating consistent trading ability rather than relying on lucky high-risk trades.
