Evaluations and accounts

# Minimum trading days

The number of separate days on which an account must trade before an evaluation phase can pass. Some firms also require a minimum profit on each qualifying day for it to count.

GFN’s figure

GFN requires 3 minimum trading days on the 2 Step, each needing 0.5% profit - $500 on a $100,000 account. Instant and the 1 Step have no minimum at all, so a 1 Step evaluation can complete in a single day.

- **Instant Minimum trading days**: None
- **1 Step Minimum trading days**: None
- **2 Step Minimum trading days**: 3, at 0.5% profit each

In detail

## Minimum trading days, explained

The rule exists for the same reason a consistency rule does: to make a single session less likely to carry an assessment. It also sets a floor on how quickly a programme can possibly be completed.

A day generally counts as qualifying only if it meets the stated profit condition, so three days of tiny scratches may not be three qualifying days.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Consistency rule](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/consistency-rule) - A rule capping how much of an account's total profit may come from a single trading day. It stops one outsized day from carrying an otherwise flat account through an evaluation.
- [Time limit](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/time-limit) - A deadline by which an evaluation must be completed. Where one exists it changes the strategy entirely, because it converts a test of process into a test of process under a clock.
- [Two-step evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/two-step-evaluation) - An assessment split into two phases with separate profit targets. The first phase proves the strategy, the second - usually at a lower target - checks it repeats before the firm issues a simulated funded account.
- [Phase one](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/phase-one) - The first stage of a two-step evaluation, carrying the higher of the two profit targets. Clearing it without breaching a risk rule moves the account to phase two rather than to a funded account.
- [Evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation) - The assessment stage of a prop programme, traded on a simulated account. Profits made during an evaluation are simulated results used to decide whether you pass; they are not withdrawable.
