Best day Rule

Updated this week

Short Answer: No single trading day can represent more than 20% (or 30%, depending on your account) of your total profits when you request a payout.

This is a soft rule. It delays your payout, but it never breaches your account. Keep trading until the ratio balances out.


How It Works

When you request a payout, we look at every trading day in your current payout cycle. We take your most profitable day and divide it by your total profit:

Best Day % = (Your highest single day profit / Your total profit) Γ— 100

If the result is above your limit, you won't be able to request a payout yet. Your account stays fully active. Just keep trading until the ratio balances out. You can track your Best Day percentage in real-time directly in your dashboard.


What's My Best Day Limit?

The percentage depends on your account type:

Account Type

Best Day Limit

All Classic accounts (Ash, Thunderbolt, Phoenix, Astral, Obsidian, Eon)

20%

Vanguard (Instant Funding)

20%

Ash Turbo

16%

Thunderbolt Turbo

15%

Thunderbolt Legacy

Example 1: Rule Respected (20% limit)

Day

Profit

% of Total

Day 1

+$1,900

19.0%

Day 2

+$1,800

18.0%

Day 3

+$1,700

17.0%

Day 4

+$1,600

16.0%

Day 5

+$1,500

15.0%

Day 6

+$1,500

15.0%

Total

$10,000

Best day is $1,900 = 19.0% of $10,000. Under 20%. Payout available.


Example 2: Losing Days Make It Worse

This catches many traders off guard. Losing days reduce your total profit, which makes your best day's percentage larger.

Day

Profit

% of Total

Day 1

+$3,000

75.0%

Day 2

-$2,000

Day 3

+$1,500

37.5%

Day 4

+$1,200

30.0%

Day 5

-$500

Day 6

+$800

20.0%

Total

$4,000

Your winning days add up to $6,500, but after losses your total is only $4,000. Day 1's $3,000 now represents 75% of the total. Payout delayed.

Without the losses, your total would be $6,500 and Day 1 would be 46.2%. Still over the limit, but much closer. Losing days don't help, they hurt. They shrink your total profit while your best day stays the same.


How to Fix a Violated Ratio

Keep trading. As your total profit grows across more days, the percentage of your best day naturally decreases. You can calculate exactly how much more you need:

Your best day profit / Your Best Day limit = Minimum total profit needed

Example: $3,000 best day with a 20% limit means you need at least $15,000 total profit ($3,000 / 0.20 = $15,000).


When Does It Reset?

After every successful payout. Your next payout cycle starts fresh. Only new trading days count.


What Is NOT Allowed

Attempting to bypass the Best Day Rule will result in partial payout, payout denial, or account suspension. This includes splitting trades across midnight to spread profit, placing tiny trades just to create artificial trading days, or hedging to control when profit is realized. If detected, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction.


Common Questions

Does it breach my account?

No, never. It's a soft rule. It only delays your payout. Your account stays fully active.

Can I request a payout if I'm over the limit?

No. You need to be at or under your limit first. Keep trading to bring the ratio down.

Do losing days help?

No. They reduce your total profit, which makes the ratio worse. Only profitable trading days help balance it out.

What timezone is used?

UTC. A trading day runs from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC.

I had one amazing day. What now?

Your account is safe. Use the formula: best day profit / your limit = minimum total profit needed. Then keep trading consistently until you reach that number.
