FunderPro Minimum Trading Days Rule Explained
FunderPro
Quick Answer
FunderPro requires a minimum of 4 trading days before profit targets count in evaluation phases.
You must complete at least 4 separate calendar days with trades before your profit target achievement is recognized. Even if you hit the 10% Phase 1 or 5% Phase 2 profit target earlier, you cannot pass until completing 4 trading days. Breaching this rule by attempting to pass early results in immediate account failure.

Common Mistakes
Weekend Trading Confusion
Traders assume weekend trades count as separate days when markets are closed. FunderPro only counts actual trading days when markets are open and you execute trades. If you trade Friday night into Sunday night thinking it's 3 days, you've only completed 1 trading day.
Rushing Profit Targets
Hitting the 10% profit target on day 2 and expecting to pass immediately. Even with a $10,000 account showing $1,000 profit after 2 days, you must continue trading for 2 more days before the profit target counts. Many traders celebrate early and get frustrated when they can't withdraw.
Calendar Day Counting
Counting calendar days instead of actual trading days with executed positions. Trading Monday and then waiting until Thursday to trade again only gives you 2 trading days, not 4. You need 4 separate days where you actually place trades.
Demo Day Inclusion
Believing practice or demo trading days count toward the 4-day requirement. Only live evaluation account trading days with real executions count. Previous demo experience or days spent analyzing without trading don't contribute to the minimum requirement.
Protection Strategies
Plan Five Day Trading Schedule
Always plan for at least 5 trading days to create a buffer above FunderPro's 4-day minimum. This accounts for potential days where market conditions prevent good trading opportunities. Schedule your evaluation across a full trading week to ensure you meet the requirement comfortably.
Use Small Position Sizing
Keep position sizes minimal during the mandatory 4 days to preserve capital while meeting requirements. Use 0.1-0.5% risk per trade to ensure you can trade all 4 days without hitting the 3% daily loss limit. This strategy maintains account health while satisfying the trading day requirement.
Set Daily Trading Reminders
Create calendar alerts to ensure you trade every planned day and track progress toward the 4-day minimum. Set reminders for market open times and monitor which days count as completed. This prevents accidentally skipping days and extending your evaluation period unnecessarily.
Avoid Holiday Week Challenges
Don't start evaluations during weeks with market holidays or reduced trading days. Holiday weeks may only have 3-4 available trading days, making it impossible to spread trades appropriately. Start evaluations during full 5-day trading weeks to ensure adequate day availability.
