What are Minimum/Maximum Trading Day Requirements and how do they alter the pacing of an evaluation program?
By Easy Money Scanner · Educational reference · Not investment advice
The short answer
Minimum and maximum trading day rules set how many days a trader must actively trade to qualify, and sometimes cap days to control evaluation program pacing.
How it works
These requirements prevent traders from passing an evaluation in one lucky session, enforcing demonstrated consistency before capital allocation decisions.
An example
A firm requires at least 5 active trading days to pass.
Risk & limitations
Requirements differ widely; some firms impose no maximum at all.
Examples are hypothetical, not trade recommendations. US contract and regulatory references do not automatically apply in Canada. Rules, margin requirements and broker policies can change; confirm them with the relevant authority and your broker.
