Valid trades & NP Score
What counts as a valid trade and how trading days are validated for NP Score.
What is a valid trade?
A trade is valid if it meets ALL these criteria:
- Minimum duration: 30 seconds from open to close
- Minimum price movement: 4 ticks (positive or negative)
- Closed properly (not invalidated by minimum hold time check)
Trades that don't meet these criteria still count toward your PnL but are flagged as isValid: false and don't contribute to your NP Score.
NP Score (Net Profit Score)
The NP Score tracks valid trading days. A day counts as NP-valid when:
- At least 1 valid trade was closed during that day
- You achieved at least 1% net daily gain on your equity
Example
On a $50,000 account, a day counts as NP-valid if you make at least $500 net profit (1% × $50,000) with at least 1 valid trade.
Why NP Score matters
NP Score is the foundation for unlocking larger funded accounts. It rewards traders who show up regularly and produce positive days — not those who make a single home run trade and disappear.
