Account inactivity rule

How often you need to trade to keep CFD and Futures accounts active, and when the inactivity period starts.

Applies to: CFD and Futures. The time limit depends on your product and account type.

Short answer

Place at least one trade within your account's inactivity period. If you don't, the account is treated as inactive and breached.

Inactivity periods

Account

Trade at least once every

CFD: all accounts

30 days

Futures: evaluation accounts

30 calendar days

Futures: funded accounts upgraded on or after 10 October 2026

10 calendar days

Futures: funded accounts upgraded before 10 October 2026

7 calendar days

When does the clock start?

CFD: the inactivity period counts from the moment the account is created, even though your evaluation itself only starts with your first trade. If you buy an account, don't leave it untouched for more than 30 days.

Tip

Keep an eye on your account activity in the dashboard, especially on funded Futures accounts, where the period is much shorter.
