Inactivity period and maximum time limit
How the 28-day inactivity rule and per-stage time limit work, including the 90-day limit for accounts from 9 April 2026 and the legacy 365-day rule.
Two separate rules keep your account active and progressing: the inactivity rule (how often you need to trade) and the time limit (how long each stage can remain open). This guide covers both.
Inactivity Rule
You must close at least one trade every 28 days to keep your account active. The size or duration of the trade does not matter — any closed trade resets the timer.
This rule applies to every account type, at every stage.
ℹ️ We send a warning email 3 days before your inactivity deadline, so you have time to place a trade and keep the account active.
Time Limit
Each stage of your account has a maximum time limit. The clock resets every time you progress to a new stage (e.g. Stage 1 → Stage 2, or Challenge → Simulated Funded).
Accounts Purchased on or After 9 April 2026
Your time limit is chosen at checkout. Each stage can run for 90, 180, or 360 days — the standard option is 90 days, and 180 or 360 days are available through the Extended Time Limit add-on, so you can pick the window that suits the way you trade.
This applies to both challenge stages and Simulated Funded stages. On Simulated Funded Accounts, the clock also resets every time you receive a payout, giving you a fresh window after each successful cycle.
Accounts Purchased Before 9 April 2026
Each stage has a 365-day time limit, applied to both challenge stages and Simulated Funded stages. The clock resets every time you progress to the next stage.
