All traders must place at least one trade every 14 calendar days to keep their account in good standing. This article explains how the Inactivity Rule works, what happens if you break it, and how to avoid it.
What is the Inactivity Rule?
Rule detail | How it works |
Requirement | At least one trade (entry and exit) must occur within a 14-day window, starting from your most recent trade |
Counting days | The 14-day window includes weekends and holidays, not just business days |
What happens if I don't trade for 14 days?
If no trades are placed within any 14-day period:
Your account will be marked inactive.
The account will receive a hard breach and be closed permanently.
All progress and profits on the account will be lost.
Example: if your last trade was on April 1st, you must place your next trade no later than April 15th to avoid being breached for inactivity.
Tips to avoid inactivity
Set a reminder on your phone or calendar every 10 to 12 days.
Even one small trade (meeting our 10-second minimum) is enough to stay active.
Do not wait until the last minute, give yourself a buffer.
Please note: an inactivity breach is permanent. Keep your account active with at least one trade every 14 calendar days.
