You earn a qualifying trade when a single closed trade on one market reaches your account's qualifying trade amount in realized profit. Open positions don't count. You need 15 qualifying trades to pass the challenge.
Three conditions must all be met:
Condition | What it means |
Fully closed | The trade must be sold or settled, with no open positions remaining on that market. |
Realized profit at or above your account's threshold | The realized P&L on that single trade must meet your account's qualifying trade amount. |
Within your challenge window | The trade must close within your 30-day challenge window. |
One qualifying trade per market
Each market can only produce one qualifying trade per challenge, even if you trade it more than once. If you close a position for a qualifying profit, then open and close a new position on that same market again, the second one does not count as an additional qualifying trade.
Example: You buy YES contracts in "Will Ethereum close above $3,000 on June 30?" and close the position for a profit that meets your account's qualifying trade amount. That's one qualifying trade. If you trade that same market again it won't count toward a second one, trade a different market instead.
Why didn't my trade count?
If a trade did not count, check these three things first:
Reason | What to look for |
Below your account's threshold | The realized P&L on that trade was below your account's qualifying trade amount |
Position not fully closed | You still have open trades on that market |
Market not yet settled | The event has resolved but your position has not fully settled yet. Allow a few minutes |
A trade below your account's threshold does not hurt you. It simply does not count toward the qualifying trade requirement. You can continue trading without penalty.
Where to review your trades
Go to Portfolio → Trade History to review closed trade P&L. Your qualifying trade count updates in the top bar as trades settle. If all three conditions appear to be met and the trade still has not counted, contact support with the market name, the date and time you closed the position, and a screenshot of your trade history.
