Minimum Winning Days
How the Minimum Winning Days payout-eligibility rule works on PipFarm's Instant Accounts.
The Minimum Winning Days rule is one of the payout-eligibility checks on PipFarm's Instant Accounts. To qualify for a payout, you need to bank a defined number of Winning Days — days that close in profit and leave the account above its starting balance.
It applies to all three Instant Account variants: EOD Trailing, Equity Trailing, and Payout Trailing. Each requires 5 Winning Days before a payout can be requested.
What Counts as a Winning Day
A Winning Day is any trading day where both of the following are true:
The day closes with at least +0.5% profit, calculated from the start-of-day balance.
The end-of-day balance is above the account's initial starting balance.
A new trading day begins at 22:00 GMT (21:00 GMT during U.S. Daylight Savings).
⚠️ Instant Accounts purchased before 19 August 2026: the Winning Day threshold on these accounts is +0.25%, not +0.5%. Everything else on this page applies to them unchanged.
Calculation
Winning Day = (EOD Balance − Start-of-Day Balance ≥ Start-of-Day Balance × 0.005) AND (EOD Balance > Initial Balance)Worked Examples
Example 1 — Qualifies
✅ Counts as a Winning Day. The $600 gain is 0.60% of the start-of-day balance, clearing the 0.5% threshold, and the end-of-day balance is above the initial balance.
Example 2 — Does Not Qualify (Below Initial Balance)
❌ Does not count. The $600 gain clears the 0.5% threshold, but the end-of-day balance of $99,600 is still below the initial balance of $100,000.
Example 3 — Does Not Qualify (Insufficient Gain)
❌ Does not count. The $400 gain is 0.40% of the start-of-day balance, which falls short of the 0.5% threshold.
