CFD Prime Challenges

Hit 3 Profitable Trading Days to Pass

For accounts purchased or upgraded on or after June 2nd, 2025, you'll need to complete a minimum of 3 profitable trading days.

What counts as a profitable day?
A trading day is considered profitable when your account gains at least 0.5% of the initial balance, measured at midnight CT (16:15 Central Time). We calculate this using the lower of your balance or equity at the cutoff time compared to the previous day's balance.

Formula:
Min (Midnight Balance, Midnight Equity) – Previous Day’s Balance > 0.5% of Initial Balance

Note: "Midnight" refers to the end-of-day cutoff at 16:15 CT.

Trade for 5 Unique Days to Qualify

To pass the CFD Classic Challenge, you’ll need to trade on at least 5 separate days. This ensures you’re demonstrating consistency and solid risk management, not just one lucky trade.

Important: Holding a position overnight does not count as a new trading day—you’ll need to actively place a trade each unique trading day for it to count.
