Prop Firm With No Minimum Trading Days: Pass at Your Own Pace

OctoFunded is a prop firm with no minimum trading days on its Perpetuals 1-Step, Perpetuals 2-Step and Futures 1-Step challenges, which state "No minimum days, no time limit" in their rules.

That means no floor and no ceiling on the calendar. A $5,000 Perpetuals 1-Step costs $159 once, or $143.10 with the public code OFF10, on simulated capital. Hit the 6% target inside the loss limits, on whatever day that happens, and the phase is done. The fee is refunded with your first payout, subject to the program rules.

Here is the exact wording, program by program, including where the answer is "see the program rules".

What does "no minimum trading days" mean?

It means the rules do not require you to trade a set number of days before a phase can count as passed. Many challenges add a floor, for example "at least a handful of trading days", so that even a trader who hits the target early has to keep coming back.

On the OctoFunded challenges that state "No minimum days", there is no such floor. The target and the loss limits decide the phase. The calendar does not.

It is the mirror image of no time limit. No time limit removes the deadline. No minimum days removes the waiting room. Together they let you set the pace.

Which OctoFunded programs have no minimum trading days?

Rules checked 27 October 2026.

The Futures market sells a 1-Step and an Instant account, not a 2-Step. For Classic minimum days, the live plan summary does not print a number, so we will not either. Read the program rules before you buy a Classic challenge if the day count matters to you.

Why do minimum trading days matter so much?

Because a day floor changes behavior. If a rule forces you to trade a set number of days, a trader who is already at target has to keep placing trades just to tick boxes. Every extra trade is extra exposure to the daily loss limit and the maximum loss limit, for no gain toward the target.

Without a floor, you can do something sensible: stop. Reach the target, stop trading the phase, and move on, subject to the program rules.

The other side is just as important. No minimum days is not an invitation to rush. The rules let you finish on day one. They do not make day one likely. The limits are tighter than on Classic: a 6% max loss on Perpetuals and a 4% max loss on Futures leave less room for one bad session.

How long could a challenge take with no minimum days?

As long as your trading needs, which is the point. Here is simple arithmetic on a $25,000 Perpetuals 1-Step with a 6% target, so $1,500 of simulated profit. These are examples, not a forecast.

Illustrative arithmetic. Losing days add time, and every day is still bound by the 3% daily and 6% max loss limits.

Notice the bottom row. Averaging 1.2% a day means a stop placed well inside the 3% daily limit. If your plan needs bigger days than that, the limits will find you before the target does. Our guide on how long a challenge takes goes deeper on pacing.

Does no minimum days mean no consistency checks?

Not automatically. Minimum days and consistency rules are separate. In the Classic market, the consistency setting is 0% apart from the best-day caps written into each program, and the Classic 1-Step caps your best day at 50% of phase profit. See what OctoFunded caps instead of a consistency rule and the best day rule guide.

For any best-day or consistency condition on the Perpetuals and Futures challenges, see the program rules.

What about Instant accounts?

Instant accounts skip the evaluation entirely, so there is no phase to pass and no minimum days to pass it. Payouts have their own timing:

• Perpetuals Instant: payout on demand after 6 trading days. 7% static max loss, 3% daily, 90% split.
• Futures Instant: payout on demand after 5 trading days. 3% static max loss, 2% daily, 90% split.
• Classic Instant: first payout after 7 days, then weekly. Payouts 1 and 2 capped at 3% of the initial balance. 12% static max loss, 3% daily, 100% split.

All payouts are subject to the program rules. If you want no waiting at all before your first eligible request, an evaluation with no minimum days and no time limit may suit you better than an Instant account.

How do you use no minimum days well?

1. Size from the max loss, not the target. On a 6% max loss, a 0.5% risk per trade gives you room for a long losing run. See how much to risk per trade.
2. Set a daily stop inside the daily limit. Stopping at half the daily limit keeps one bad session from ending the account.
3. Stop when the target is met. No floor means no reason to keep trading the phase.
4. Use the weekend if it suits you. Perpetuals trade 24/7, including weekends, so you can trade the hours you have.
5. Ignore the clock. There is no deadline, so there is no reason to force a trade.

FAQ

Does OctoFunded have minimum trading days?

The Perpetuals 1-Step, Perpetuals 2-Step and Futures 1-Step state no minimum days and no time limit. Classic evaluations have no time limit; for any minimum days on Classic programs, see the program rules.

Can I pass a challenge in one day?

On the Perpetuals and Futures challenges there is no minimum day count, so the rules do not stop you reaching the target on day one. Whether you reach it depends on your trading, and the daily loss limit applies on every day.

What is the difference between no minimum days and no time limit?

No minimum days removes the floor: you are not forced to trade a set number of days. No time limit removes the ceiling: there is no deadline. The Perpetuals and Futures challenges state both.

Do Instant accounts have a waiting period before payouts?

Instant accounts have no evaluation, but payouts have timing rules. Perpetuals Instant pays on demand after 6 trading days, Futures Instant after 5 trading days, and Classic Instant after 7 days, then weekly, subject to the program rules.

Which rules still apply when there are no minimum days?

The profit target, the daily loss limit and the maximum loss limit. On the Perpetuals 1-Step that is a 6% target, 3% daily and 6% max loss. On the Futures 1-Step it is a 6% target, 3% daily and 4% max loss.

No floor. No deadline. Just the target and the limits.

The Perpetuals and Futures challenges let your trading set the calendar. Reach the target inside the loss limits and the phase is done, whether that takes four days or forty. The Perpetuals 1-Step starts at $159 for a $5,000 simulated account, or $143.10 with code OFF10.
