How the rule works
With a 40% rule and a best day of $1,200, you need at least $3,000 of total profit ($1,200 ÷ 0.40) before the rule is met.
Losing days count against the total, so a red day after a big green one pushes the requirement further away.
Firms differ on when they check: some at the end of the evaluation, some at every payout request. Check your firm's page for which applies.
