Step 1 of 4
The calculation
Best-day share = best profitable day ÷ total accumulated profit × 100. With $5,000 of total profit, the largest single day may be at most $1,750 (35% of $5,000).
Turn it around to plan: the total profit you need for a given best day is that day ÷ 35%. A big day is fine; it just needs enough ordinary days around it. The rule never asks you to give profit back, and it never stops you from trading; it only decides when a payout request fits.
Losses matter too. If total profit falls after a losing stretch while the best day stays the same, the share rises. A day that was inside the cap last week can be over it after two red days.
Step 2 of 4
Where it applies
- Instant Funded: from the start, because there is no evaluation.
- 1-Step and 2-Step: on the funded account only, not during the evaluation. On 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations bought from 22 October 2026, no single day may make more than 50% of the total profit (best-day rule). On the 2-Step it applies in each step.
- MFC Stocks: at payout, 35% of the profit you cash out. During the evaluation a separate best-day rule caps one day at 35% of profit.
- Prediction Markets: at payout, next to its Max Profit Per Event rule of 0.5% of plan size per event.
Step 3 of 4
Why it exists
It separates steady performance from one lucky trade. A funded account that earned most of its profit in one session is closer to a bet than to a repeatable process. The rule asks for evidence that the result can happen again.
A worked week on a funded account:
| Day | Result | Total profit |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | +$400 | $400 |
| Tuesday | +$1,200 | $1,600 |
| Wednesday | +$300 | $1,900 |
| Thursday | −$200 | $1,700 |
| Friday | +$500 | $2,200 |
The best day, Tuesday, is $1,200 of $2,200: about 55% of total profit, above the 35% cap. To bring it under, total profit has to reach at least $1,200 ÷ 35% through ordinary days. Thursday’s loss pushed the share up, which is why red days matter too.
Step 4 of 4
Trading with it
Keep daily profit close to your average. If one day runs far ahead, the answer is more ordinary days, not giving the profit back or forcing trades.
- Track the best-day share in your journal after each session.
- Check it in your Dashboard before you request a payout.
- Keep the same size after a big day: a second oversized day compounds the problem.
A useful daily ceiling: decide in advance the profit at which you stop for the day, close to your average good day. It costs you the occasional runaway session, but it keeps the best-day share low without any special effort at payout time.
On Prediction Markets, plan per event as well. On a $10,000 account one event may add at most $50 of potential profit, counted across every market in that event. Positions in different markets of the same match or election share one allowance.
Before you request a payout, run the sum once: best day ÷ total profit. If it is above the cap, the fix is time, not size. Ordinary days at your normal risk bring the share down without putting the loss limits at risk.
Recap
- Best-day share = best profitable day ÷ total profit × 100.
- Later losses shrink total profit, so they can push the share over the cap.
- The fix for one oversized day is more ordinary days, not giving profit back.
