What is Best Day Rule?

Updated over a week ago

The Best Day Rule, is designed to encourage disciplined and stable trading behavior.

It ensures that profits are earned through consistent performance rather than one-time high-risk trades.


How the Best Day Rule Works

To be eligible for a payout, no single trading day can represent more than certain % of your total profits (Typically 20% or 30%, depending on your selected account).

This rule applies to all Funded Accounts.

For example:

  • If your total profit is $10,000 and Best day rule is 20%, the maximum profit from your best day may not exceed $2,000 (20%).

  • If one day’s profit is higher than this limit, the payout will be temporarily delayed until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.


Important Notes

  • Exceeding the Best Day Rule does not breach your account - it only postpones your payout.

  • Once your profit ratio becomes consistent again, you will be fully eligible to request your payout.

  • Attempting to bypass the rule (for example, by splitting one large trade into smaller partial closures or through hedging) is not allowed.

    In such cases, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction for evaluation purposes.

  • Intentionally placing small trades to create artificial trading days for the purpose of meeting the Best Day Rule requirement is considered bypassing the rule and is not permitted.

    If such activity is detected, Upcomers may take corrective action including:

    • partial payout approval

    • denial of the payout request

    • temporary or permanent account suspension

    The 1% Profit Requirement applies between payouts to ensure that trading activity remains genuine and that withdrawals reflect real, continued performance.


Purpose of the Rule

The Best Day Rule reflects Upcomers’ commitment to responsible and professional trading standards.

It helps ensure that funded traders demonstrate stable performance and risk control - both essential qualities for long-term success.


Best Day rule explained:

Example 1 – Within the rule (allowed):

Day 1: +1,900 USD

Day 2: +1,800 USD

Day 3: +1,700 USD

Day 4: +1,600 USD

Day 5: +1,500 USD

Day 6: +1,500 USD

Total profit: 10,000 USD

Best day: 1,900 USD = 19% of total profit = Rule respected (In case you have 20% best day rule)


Example 2 – Breaking the rule (not allowed):

Day 1: +2,100 USD

Day 2: +2,000 USD

Day 3: +2,000 USD

Day 4: +2,000 USD

Day 5: +1,900 USD

Total profit: 10,000 USD

Best day: 2,100 USD = 21% of total profit, Rule violated (In case you have 20% best day rule)


Key point:

No single day’s profit can exceed certain % of the total profit in the payout cycle. If it does, the payout is delayed until further trading balances the ratio.
