Definition
Inactivity rule
Accounts are closed or archived after a period without trading — commonly 14–30 days.
Both evaluation and funded accounts can expire from inactivity. One small position resets the clock; the threshold and consequence (warning vs closure) differ per firm.
It exists for book hygiene — dormant funded accounts are a liability the firm doesn't want to carry.
