MyFundedFutures Minimum Trading Days Rule Explained
MyFundedFutures
Quick Answer
MyFundedFutures requires traders to complete at least 2 trading days before profit targets count in evaluation phases.
The rule is calculated per evaluation phase and requires actual trading activity on separate calendar days. Even if you reach your profit target on day 1, you must trade on at least one additional day before the profit target becomes valid. Breaching this rule means your evaluation fails regardless of profit performance.

Calculation Example
Common Mistakes
One-Day Profit Target Rush
Traders hit their profit target on the first trading day and immediately request payout or expect to pass. For example, making $4,000 profit on a $100,000 account in one day meets the target but fails the evaluation. You must complete trading on a second separate calendar day before the profit counts.
Weekend Trading Confusion
Traders assume weekend sessions count as separate trading days when markets are closed or have limited activity. Opening positions Friday night and Monday morning may only count as one trading day if weekend activity isn't considered valid. This leads to unexpected evaluation failures despite believing the 2-day requirement was met.
Partial Day Trading
Opening and immediately closing positions on the second day thinking minimal activity satisfies the requirement. Some traders place tiny trades just to check the box, but MyFundedFutures may require substantial trading activity to qualify as a valid trading day. This superficial approach can result in the second day not counting toward the minimum.
Calendar vs Business Days
Assuming any 2 calendar days count rather than actual market trading days. Trading Monday and Tuesday during a market holiday week might only count as one trading day if markets were closed. This timing confusion causes traders to submit for evaluation prematurely, thinking they've satisfied the 2-day requirement.
Protection Strategies
Plan Minimum 3-4 Trading Days
Always plan to trade for at least 3-4 days even if you hit profit targets early. This buffer ensures you definitely meet the 2-day minimum requirement and accounts for any days that might not qualify. Set a personal rule to never submit for evaluation before day 3 regardless of profit performance.
Use Smaller Position Sizes Early
Reduce position sizes in the first few days to avoid hitting profit targets too quickly. If your normal risk is 1% per trade, consider 0.5% for the first 2-3 days. This prevents accidentally reaching the profit target before completing the minimum trading days requirement.
Set Daily Activity Reminders
Create calendar alerts for days 1 and 2 to ensure meaningful trading activity occurs on separate days. Track your daily P&L and trading activity to confirm each day counts as a valid trading day. Don't rely on memory - document each day's trading to verify the requirement is met.
Avoid Holiday Week Starts
Don't begin evaluations during weeks with market holidays or reduced trading sessions. Start evaluations on regular trading weeks to ensure you have clear, full trading days available. This prevents confusion about whether shortened or holiday-affected days count toward your 2-day minimum requirement.
