What it takes to pass, what takes the account away, and what holds up a payout — for every account we support, read from each firm's own pricing pages, help centres and rule books, not summarised from memory.
R|Trader Pro shows you unrealized P&L. What actually closes the account is a floor computed underneath it. A trailing floor moves up in real time as your equity climbs and can be breached mid-trade, even on a day you finish green. An end-of-day floor only recalculates once, at the close. Which one your account uses — and when it stops moving — changes what counts as a breach.
Where a firm publishes one, crossing it suspends trading for the rest of that session — the account itself stays open and picks back up the next day. It's a separate number from the drawdown, measured only on that day's losses, and on some accounts it scales up as the account grows.
A cap on how much of total profit is allowed to come from a single day, written as a percentage. It exists to stop a payout being decided by one outsized session — hit the target with one lucky day and the rule can hold the payout back even though the profit itself is real.

Nine trading behaviors, eight firms, read .
Rules only one firm has
Some of the nine voices above aren't opinions — they're arithmetic, and the app already does the math.
Four of the eight firms define scalping by how long you hold a trade — with four different numbers:
| Firm | Threshold | Form |
|---|---|---|
| Lucid | 5 seconds | >50% of profit from trades under threshold |
| Tradeify | 10 seconds | >50% of trades AND >50% of profit above threshold |
| YRM | 10 seconds | Minimum on every trade |
| TradeDay | “a few seconds” + >200 trades/day | Judgment + count |
The 10-second line answers Tradeify and YRM exactly. Lucid's threshold is 5 seconds and falls inside the first bucket below — neither image separates it out on its own.
This is the rule, not an illustration. FundedMetrics' duration buckets start exactly at 10 seconds — the same line Tradeify and YRM publish — so the share of profit sitting in that first bar answers the question directly.
The supporting card: average trade duration, average win/loss duration, and time in market.
Each day already shows its own trade count — the same number TradeDay and YRM cap at 200.
TradeDay and YRM cap it at the same number, in nearly the same words: “more than 200 trades in a day” is prohibited on both. It's a per-day count, and the calendar already keeps one for every day you've traded.
Every number here has a source, and the source has a date.
Where the numbers come from. Each firm's own published material: pricing pages, help center articles, and — where available — the purchase form itself, which is the strongest source we use, because it's what a customer reads while paying for the account.
Where two official pages disagreed with each other, we recorded which one we trusted and why, instead of quietly picking one and moving on.
What this page doesn't cover:
A rule we didn't find isn't a rule that doesn't exist. It means that on that firm's public surfaces, on the date above, we didn't find it there.
Rules change without notice. The date on this page is the date we last read the firm's own pages — not a promise about today. Confirm with your firm before trading around any number here.
