Disciply Challenge rules on 6 November: daily activity and the profit ceiling

Update dated 6 November 2026. The Disciply Trading Challenge rules page describes a simulated trading challenge. The public experience also carries a demonstration-data warning and says any prizes depend on the final rules. This article explains the rule logic introduced in the product. It does not announce a certified official competition launch, available prizes or winners.

The official technical note dated 6 November specifies the counters, thresholds and verification limits.

What trading every day actually requires

Activity is counted on an eligible UTC calendar day. Presence requires at least one newly executed BUY or SELL entry, or a reversal that opens new exposure, on the verified Challenge account. Signing in, placing an unfilled order, closing an existing position or merely holding one does not meet that condition. The count comes from verifiable MT5 execution history, not a screenshot or an intention to trade.

The competition calendar uses Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday do not become missed days, even when a market such as crypto trades through the weekend. Additional closure dates may be declared in the configuration and listed on the rules page. UTC matters: an execution close to midnight may belong to a different date from the one on a broker server or phone. Compare execution timestamps, server time zone and UTC date before disputing an activity count.

Five consecutive absences are different from five active days

At the end of the fifth consecutive completed eligible day without a qualifying new entry, the account is permanently disqualified. A qualifying entry before that point resets the absence streak. This counter is separate from the final requirement of at least five active days. Having traded on five days earlier does not grant five free absences later; a current streak also does not replace the other round conditions.

Suppose no new position is opened from Monday to Friday in a week with no declared closure. Friday is the fifth completed missed day. If a qualifying entry is executed on Thursday, the prior absence streak ends and a Friday absence starts a new streak of one. This is a calendar illustration, not evidence that any particular account has been disqualified. A partial first assignment day is exempt, and missed days before 6 November are not applied retroactively.

The daily loss limit is fixed

The daily loss limit remains USD 3,000 below the previous UTC closing balance. Open-position floating P&L is included in the equity check. The floor does not rise intraday after a gain. If the day's reference balance is USD 101,200, the daily floor is USD 98,200. Equity touching that level breaches the rule, even if a position has not been closed. The separate total equity floor of USD 94,000 still applies: remaining above the daily floor alone is insufficient.

These round numbers explain the formula; they are not market prices or a recommended position size. Spreads, commissions and floating changes may bring equity to a limit before realized profit suggests it. The engine evaluates observed account snapshots. This rule does not automatically liquidate a position at the exact violating tick.

The daily profit cap is 10% of initial capital

The reference initial capital is USD 100,000, so 10% is a fixed USD 10,000 daily amount. The upper limit is measured against the same UTC day reference balance and includes floating results. If that reference is USD 101,200, the upper threshold is USD 111,200. Equity at exactly USD 111,200 is allowed; exceeding it by even one cent is a permanent breach. The daily baseline resets after the next UTC close, but a disqualification already recorded does not reset.

This cap is not a profit target. No participant needs to make USD 10,000 per day. Increasing lot size to consume the entire apparent allowance could cross the upper boundary or lose control of the lower one during a single move. Market risk remains relevant even when the Challenge account is simulated.

Check an account before drawing a conclusion

Start with the current rules, then review the assigned account, status and activity dates in the Challenge area. Reconcile complete MT5 history using UTC dates. New entries, reversals, exits and unfilled orders have different effects. An incremental history update can confirm observed activity but cannot prove an absence. Enforcing five missed days requires a successful full Challenge-history read. When history is incomplete, the status remains pending verification rather than treating missing data as proven inactivity.

To simulate distances from custom limits, use the prop challenge planner with manually entered initial capital, day reference, equity and daily limit. Its output is a descriptive manual-input calculation, neither live account data nor certification of Disciply rules. For a hypothetical order, the lot and risk calculator requires a stop distance, contract specification, account currency and broker-verified costs. An illustrative USD 500 planned risk is part of a USD 3,000 daily loss budget; it does not protect against gaps, slippage, floating P&L or the profit ceiling. Neither tool replaces account verification.

The earlier guide to valid trading days explains date and time-zone errors. This dated update addresses the daily participation condition and the two fixed daily boundaries. Check the published conditions, account identity and round status before acting. A public test and demonstration data do not certify that an official contest is open or that prizes can be awarded. Simulated trading does not guarantee future results.
