At PIP Traders Funding LLC, we reward consistency — not just performance. That’s why the Minimum Profitable Trading Days rule exists. It ensures that traders demonstrate steady profitability over time, not just short bursts of gains.
✅ What is a "Profitable Trading Day"?
A Profitable Trading Day is defined as any day in which you close with at least 0.6% net profit based on your original initial balance — regardless of your current account equity or performance fluctuations during the day.
If your profit is less than 0.6%, the day does not count as profitable
Only closed trades are considered — floating equity is not included
Days with no trades or a net loss are excluded
📊 Examples
If your original initial balance is $100,000:
You must close the day with at least $600 in net profit for that day to count
A $300 profit (0.3%) would not count
A $650 profit (0.65%) does count
📌 This calculation is always based on your initial starting balance, not your daily balance or account growth.
🎯 How many profitable trading days do you need?
To qualify for rewards, your trading cycle must include:
First reward: At least 8 profitable trading days
Second reward: At least 7 profitable trading days
Third reward and beyond: At least 5 profitable trading days
These days do not need to be consecutive, but they must all occur within the same trading cycle. They reset with each new cycle.
🧠 Why do we enforce this?
Because consistency matters more than luck. This rule:
Encourages sustainable, long-term trading behavior
Prevents traders from relying on one or two oversized wins
Reflects the standards used in real capital allocation programs
❗What happens if you request a reward without enough profitable days?
If you submit a reward request without meeting the required number of profitable trading days:
Your request will be denied
You will be required to start a new trading cycle
Profitable days from the previous cycle will not carry over
🔍 Tips for meeting this requirement
Trade with measured consistency, not one-time spikes
Use a journal or tracker to log daily profits based on your initial balance
Regularly check your trader dashboard to monitor how many profitable days you've accumulated
Aim for quality setups — not forced trades just to increase activity
Avoid oversizing — it may help short-term, but can hurt consistency and discipline
📍 Bottom Line
The Minimum Profitable Trading Days rule is designed to highlight disciplined, consistent traders — the kind who thrive long term. If you’re focused on sustainability rather than short-term wins, you’ll be in the best position to grow with us as a Certified PIP Trader.
