How does PropXP define a profitable day?

TL;DR

A “profitable day” is a day where your realized (balance-based) profit is at least +0.5% from one daily reset to the next. Equity doesn’t matter for this metric.

How it works

• Reset time: the “day” runs from 00:00 AM UTC to 00:00 AM UTC.
• Definition: a profitable day is when your end-of-day balance is at least +0.5% higher than your start-of-day balance.
• Balance-based: profitable days are calculated on balance (realized PnL), not equity. That means open floating trades do not affect whether the day counts.

Common gotchas

• Equity doesn’t decide the day. You can be +0.5% on balance and holding -0.3% floating, it still counts as profitable.
• Instant Funding requires at least 5 profitable days before you can request a performance reward (and the 20% consistency rule basically makes 5 profitable days the realistic minimum anyway).
• Don’t “farm days” at the end. Plan for them early, or you’ll be stuck trying to print +0.5% days while protecting the account.
• Big one-day wins can create consistency issues — then you’re profitable but still not eligible yet.

Example

Your day starts at 00:00 AM UTC with balance $26,000. At the next 00:00 AM UTC, your balance is $26,130. That’s +$130, which is +0.5% of $26,000 → counts as a profitable day.
