Minimum trading days explained

How many days you need to trade before you can take a reward on each UZO product, and why there is never a maximum.

The short answer

The two challenge products, One Step and Two Step, have no minimum trading days. The Instant accounts do: Instant asks for at least 5 trading days and Instant Pro for at least 6 before your first reward. Instant 24h works on a minimum of 7 trades rather than a day count. Aside from Instant 24h and its 24 hour window, no product carries a time limit, so there is no maximum number of days either.

A minimum trading day requirement is there to let your track record reflect how you genuinely trade over time, rather than a single fortunate position. On the Instant accounts it applies before your first reward, and it is a floor, never a ceiling: should you reach a withdrawable profit sooner than the minimum, you simply keep trading until the day count is met. We never ask you to trade longer than the published rule states.


What a minimum trading day is

A minimum trading day rule sets the smallest number of separate days on which you place trades before an account becomes eligible for its first reward. It is a floor, not a target. It does not oblige you to risk more, take extra trades, or remain in the market once the count is met.

The purpose is consistency of behaviour. A trader who reaches the objective across a few distinct days is demonstrating a repeatable process, which is precisely what UZO is funding. This is separate from the profit target, which is the amount you need to earn.


Instant and Instant Pro: 5 and 6 trading days

The Instant accounts are the ones with a minimum trading day requirement, and it applies before your first reward. Instant needs trades on at least 5 separate days, and Instant Pro on at least 6, before a reward can be released. There is no time limit, so those days may be back to back or spread out however suits you.

On these two accounts a qualifying trading day is one on which you make at least 0.5% profit. A day on which you trade but do not reach 0.5% is simply not counted towards the minimum, and it costs you nothing. Should you reach a withdrawable profit before you have met the day count, you stay active and place trades on the remaining days, and the reward proceeds once both the profit and the day minimum are satisfied.


One Step and Two Step: no minimum

One Step and Two Step carry no minimum trading day requirement. As soon as you meet the profit target for the phase, it can be passed, even if that happens on a single day.

7 trades (not days)

This is one of the friendliest arrangements you will find. On the challenges you are free to pass in a day or take your time, and on the Instant accounts the requirement is a handful of days, nothing more.


Instant 24h: 7 trades within the window

Instant 24h works differently again. Rather than a minimum number of days, it uses a minimum of 7 trades, and it asks for a 3% target within a 24 hour window. That window is a limit on the objective, not a minimum day count, so the trade minimum and the time window are two separate mechanics.

The 24 hour clock starts on your first trade, and the account settles automatically once the window closes. Reach the target with your 7 trades in place and your reward is generated from the final result.


How a trading day is counted

In general, a trading day counts as any day on which you place at least one trade. Days on which you do not trade simply do not count towards the requirement, and they never count against you. On Instant and Instant Pro, as noted above, a day qualifies once it reaches at least 0.5% profit.

Your progress is reflected on your dashboard as you trade, so you can always see how many qualifying days you have to date. Should you ever be unsure whether a given day has counted, check your account progress on the dashboard or write to us at [email protected] and we will confirm.


No maximum and no deadline

Aside from Instant 24h and its 24 hour window, no UZO product has a time limit, so there is no maximum number of trading days either. On the other products you are never racing a clock. Take the days you need, trade when conditions suit your strategy, and step away on days you would rather sit out. Patience is always available to you, never a cost.

In practice

On One Step and Two Step, you may pass the moment you meet the target. On Instant, plan for at least 5 qualifying days before your first reward, and on Instant Pro at least 6. Instant 24h asks for at least 7 trades within its 24 hour window. On every product other than Instant 24h, the absence of a deadline means you set your own pace.
