Introduction
You must complete the minimum Profitable Day requirement to pass a stage/challenge or request a payout on Endurance Mode accounts. The number of Profitable Days you must complete depends on your account size.
A Profitable Day is a trading day where the closing balance is at least 0.5% of the initial account balance higher than the opening EOD reference. A new trading day starts at 22:00 GMT during standard time and 21:00 GMT during US Daylight Savings.
The EOD reference is defined as the higher of the account balance or account equity at the end of the trading day.

Profitable Day calculation
A Profitable Day is calculated as follows:
IF ClosingBalance - Opening EOD reference > InitialBalance *0.005 = ProfitableDay
Example #1
If you have a $100,000 account, 0.5% of the initial balance is $500. To achieve a Profitable Day, your EOD balance must increase by at least $500 during that trading day.
This value is always based on 0.5% of the initial balance and does not change based on prior profits or losses.
For example, if your opening EOD reference at 22:00 GMT on Sunday is $99,600, your closing EOD balance must reach at least $100,100 by 21:50 GMT on Monday to count as a Profitable Day.
Do the minimum Profitable Days have to be consecutive?
No. Profitable trading days do not have to be done in a row.
Does a Profitable Day count if the account is in drawdown?
Yes. Your account does not need to be overall profitable to achieve a Profitable Day. You only need your EOD closing balance to increase by at least 0.5% of the initial balance compared to the previous EOD Reference.
Are Profitable Days required in the funded stage?
Yes. Profitable Days are required to qualify for a payout in your funded account and between each payout.
