Minimum Trading Days

AeroFunded requires a minimum of 4 trading days to complete an evaluation or qualify for earnings, depending on your plan.

A trading day is counted only when you achieve a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial account balance within a single trading day. Simply placing trades or being active does not qualify—each trading day must meet the profitability threshold.

This requirement ensures traders demonstrate consistency and disciplined performance, rather than relying on a single high-risk trade.

What Counts as a Trading Day

  • A trading day is only counted when profit ≥ 0.5% of the initial balance

  • Profit must be achieved within one trading day

  • The percentage is always calculated using the initial account balance, not the current balance

  • Partial profits below the threshold do not count

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: $10,000 Challenge Account

  • Initial Balance: $10,000

  • Minimum Profit per Trading Day: 0.5% = $50

What This Means:
To qualify as one trading day, you must make at least $50 in profit during a single trading day. Any day with less than $50 profit does not count toward the minimum trading days requirement.

Scenario 2: $50,000 Challenge Account

  • Initial Balance: $50,000

  • Minimum Profit per Trading Day: 0.5% = $250

Profit Made: $1,000
New Balance: $51,000

What This Means:
Even though your account balance has increased, the daily profit requirement remains $250, because it is always calculated based on the initial balance. Any day where profit is $250 or more qualifies as a trading day.

Scenario 3: Funded Account (Payout Eligibility)

  • Account Type: Instant Funded

  • Initial Balance: $25,000

  • Minimum Profit per Trading Day: 0.5% = $125

  • Monthly Requirement: 4 qualifying trading days within the same calendar month

What This Means:
To be eligible to request a payout on an Instant Funded Account, the trader must complete at least four profitable trading days within a single month. Each qualifying trading day must generate a minimum profit of $125 (0.5% of the initial balance) in one trading day.

Profits can be earned on any trading days during the month and do not need to be consecutive. Trading days that do not meet the 0.5% profit threshold do not count, even if the account is active.

Once four qualifying trading days are completed within the month and all other trading rules are met, the trader may submit a payout request.
