Prop firm minimum trading days, compared (2026).

How many days 6 futures prop firms require to pass an evaluation, and how many winning days before each payout.

What minimum days are

Many evaluations set a minimum number of trading days: even if you reach the profit target sooner, you pass only once you’ve traded that many days. On funded accounts, the days that count before a payout are usually winning days, days that close with at least a set profit, counted again after each payout.

A trading day runs from one session close to the next, not from midnight to midnight, and each firm sets what makes a day count. The details are on each firm’s rules page.
