When does the account cycle start?

A trading account cycle begins when you place your first trade, not when the account is activated. This allows you to purchase a challenge and start it at any time, with no set start date. A trading cycle refers to the complete set of your trading activities starting from the time you first open an account or make your initial trade, continuing across all trading days. Additionally, a new trading cycle begins immediately following a payout. Once you have received a payout, the previous trading cycle concludes, and a new cycle starts, resetting the associated trading activity metrics and requirements.
