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.
