Finotive Funding: Minimum trading days
Challenge 1-Step needs 3 profitable days (≥0.5%); 2-Step needs 2 per stage; Pro 2 per stage; Instant Standard 0; Instant Lite 5. A profitable day = balance at 17:00 NY exceeds the prior day's by ≥0.5%.
The gotcha
It's a profitable-day requirement, not just a day with any trade — flat days don't count.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
