Minimum Winning Days

How the Minimum Winning Days payout-eligibility rule works on PipFarm's Instant Accounts.

The Minimum Winning Days rule is one of the payout-eligibility checks on PipFarm's Instant Accounts. To qualify for a payout, you need to bank a defined number of Winning Days — days that close in profit and leave the account above its starting balance.

It applies to all three Instant Account variants: EOD Trailing, Equity Trailing, and Payout Trailing. Each requires 5 Winning Days before a payout can be requested.

What Counts as a Winning Day

A Winning Day is any trading day where both of the following are true:

The day closes with at least +0.5% profit, calculated from the start-of-day balance.
The end-of-day balance is above the account's initial starting balance.

A new trading day begins at 22:00 GMT (21:00 GMT during U.S. Daylight Savings).

⚠️ Instant Accounts purchased before 19 August 2026: the Winning Day threshold on these accounts is +0.25%, not +0.5%. Everything else on this page applies to them unchanged.

Calculation

Winning Day = (EOD Balance − Start-of-Day Balance ≥ Start-of-Day Balance × 0.005)              AND              (EOD Balance > Initial Balance)

Worked Examples

Example 1 — Qualifies

Metric	Value
Initial Balance	$100,000
Start-of-Day Balance	$99,900
End-of-Day Balance	$100,500
Daily Gain	$600 (0.60%)

✅ Counts as a Winning Day. The $600 gain is 0.60% of the start-of-day balance, clearing the 0.5% threshold, and the end-of-day balance is above the initial balance.

Example 2 — Does Not Qualify (Below Initial Balance)

Metric	Value
Initial Balance	$100,000
Start-of-Day Balance	$99,000
End-of-Day Balance	$99,600
Daily Gain	$600 (0.61%)

❌ Does not count. The $600 gain clears the 0.5% threshold, but the end-of-day balance of $99,600 is still below the initial balance of $100,000.

Example 3 — Does Not Qualify (Insufficient Gain)

Metric	Value
Initial Balance	$100,000
Start-of-Day Balance	$100,000
End-of-Day Balance	$100,400
Daily Gain	$400 (0.40%)

❌ Does not count. The $400 gain is 0.40% of the start-of-day balance, which falls short of the 0.5% threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Winning Days have to be consecutive?

No. Winning Days don't need to be consecutive — they can be spread across the account's lifetime.

Do Winning Days reset after each payout?

Yes. The 5 Winning Days requirement applies to each payout cycle, so you need to bank 5 fresh Winning Days between payouts.

What time does a trading day start and end?

A trading day starts at 22:00 GMT (21:00 GMT during U.S. Daylight Savings) and ends 24 hours later.

Does my best Winning Day affect my Consistency Score?

Yes. Your single best trading day is the input to the Consistency Score calculation, so spreading your profit across multiple Winning Days helps both metrics.

Where can I track my Winning Days?

The current Winning Day count is displayed on your PipFarm Dashboard, alongside your other payout-eligibility metrics.
