Trading Rules
One-Phase: no minimum trading days — instead, each payout cycle requires 5 winning days of $200/$250/$300+ by tier. Two-Phase: 3 minimum trading days in the eval, then 5 funded trading days before any payout plus 5 winning days of $150/$200/$250+ per milestone. Trade League has no minimum-day rules. No product has a time limit.
Updated
Two different "day" rules exist, and they're often confused: minimum trading days (just show up and trade) and winning days (days that close at or above a profit threshold).
One-Phase challenges
- Minimum trading days: none.
- Winning days: 5 per payout cycle, each at or above the tier's per-day threshold:
| Tier | Winning days per cycle | Per-day minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 5 | $200+ |
| Intermediate | 5 | $250+ |
| Advanced | 5 | $300+ |
Five is a minimum, not an exact count — you can take as many days as you need to reach the cycle's profit target. The winning-day counter resets to zero after each payout.
Two-Phase challenges
- Eval phase: minimum 3 trading days (plus the profit target and other eval rules).
- Funded phase: minimum 5 funded trading days before any payout, and 5 winning days per milestone:
| Tier | Winning days per milestone | Per-day minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 5 | $150+ |
| Intermediate | 5 | $200+ |
| Advanced | 5 | $250+ |
The winning-day counter resets after each milestone payout.
Trade League
No minimum trading days and no winning-day requirement — ranking is by final balance at tournament close.
No time limits
Challenges have no time limit — no deadline to pass the eval or hit a target. Trade League is time-bounded only by the calendar month itself.

- Are there daily loss limits?No. No TradeSport product has a daily loss limit — not One-Phase challenges, not Two-Phase challenges, not Trade League. The only loss rules are each product's max loss / drawdown.
- Can I appeal a disqualification?Disqualification decisions are discretionary under the governing terms, and the reason is shared where possible. There's no formal appeals process, but if you believe a decision was made in error, contact support@trade-sport.com with your account details and the review can be revisited with any information you provide.
- Can I use trading bots or automated strategies?No. All trading must be manual — automated trading systems, bots, and algorithmic strategies are prohibited on every TradeSport account, with no approval path. Discretionary use of standard platform tools — alerts, bracket orders, and similar — is allowed.
- How does the consistency rule work?One-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 30% of the current payout cycle's profit target. Two-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total eval profit (eval phase) or 40% of the current milestone's profit requirement (funded phase). The window resets after every payout. Trade League has no consistency rule.
- How does the drawdown work? (trailing vs. locked)Challenge accounts use an intraday trailing drawdown until your first payout (or first milestone payout on Two-Phase), then the floor permanently locks at your starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. Trade League uses a different mechanic: a Limited End-of-Day trailing drawdown plus a $2,000 intraday max loss. No TradeSport product uses a static drawdown.
