Inactivity & Account Expiry

Automatic account lock after 30 days without a single trade — even if you are in profit.

30 consecutive calendar days without opening a position = automatic account disable. This applies to evaluation and funded stages separately. The clock starts at last closed trade, not purchase date on most firms — but some firms start from purchase date, a hidden trap.

Deep Dive

Why this rule exists

30 consecutive calendar days without opening a position = automatic account disable. This applies to evaluation and funded stages separately. The clock starts at last closed trade, not purchase date on most firms — but some firms start from purchase date, a hidden trap.

How traders get caught

This rule is often buried in FAQ or enforced only at payout review — not on the pricing page. Check the exact firm wording before assuming the headline covers your case.

How to stay safe

Verify the firm terms excerpt, keep evidence logs of your setup, and test edge cases in the simulator before sizing up.

The Formula

How it is calculated

Inactivity Lock = Last Trade Close Date + 30 Calendar Days (no trade = locked)

Real Dollar Example

You pass Phase 1 on March 1 and plan to start Phase 2 after a break. No trade until April 2 = Phase 1 progress forfeited, need to repurchase.

Common Traps & Mistakes

1

Passing Phase 1 then taking a month off before Phase 2.

2

Assuming demo pause is safe while funded — funded inactivity still ticks.
