What a prop firm with no time limit still asks of you is activity: a first trade within 30 days of the stage starting, never 30 days in a row without a trade, and at least five valid trading days in each step. The rest is up to your pace, and that should change how much you risk per trade.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<nav class=\"fx-article-map\" aria-label=\"In this article\">\n<ul class=\"fx-article-map-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what-unlimited-means\">What unlimited means here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#valid-trading-day\">What counts as a valid day<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#clocks\">The clocks that still run<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-fails-accounts\">What really fails accounts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#change-your-pace\">Habits that time allows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#worked-example\">$10,000 on BTC, no rush<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#watching-your-room\">Watching your room<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#where-to-start\">Where to start<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<section id=\"what-unlimited-means\">\n<h2>What &#8220;no time limit&#8221; means on a Fundex24 challenge<\/h2>\n<p>On the rules page the Trading Period row reads Unlimited for every plan: the challenge has no expiry date as long as you keep to the activity rules. In practice that means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Targets: 10% in Step 1 (the Challenge) and 8% in Step 2 (Verification), with no date by which you must reach them.<\/li>\n<li>First trade: within 30 calendar days of the stage starting.<\/li>\n<li>Inactivity: 30 calendar days without a trade fails the challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Minimum days: at least five valid trading days in each step.<\/li>\n<li>Closing out: a stage can&#8217;t pass while you still have positions open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fundex24-reach\/crypto-prop-firm-no-time-limit-rule-map.jpg\" alt=\"Fundex24 rules page on the $3,000 account, with the Step 1 target, daily loss line and funded split beside a three-stage map of Challenge, Verification and Funded\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>The rule map: 10% and 8% targets with five days per step, while the funded stage shows no target and no minimum days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The loss limits don&#8217;t change with the clock. Daily loss is 5% and maximum loss 10% of the stage&#8217;s starting balance, and touching either one fails the account even if the price comes back an hour later.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"valid-trading-day\">\n<h2>Five valid trading days: what counts and what doesn&#8217;t<\/h2>\n<p>A valid trading day isn&#8217;t any day you happen to click Buy. It&#8217;s a day with at least one closed trade whose net result, profit or loss, comes to at least 0.25% of the stage&#8217;s starting balance. On a $10,000 account that&#8217;s $25.<\/p>\n<p>Three things follow from that wording. A string of scalps that each net $8 won&#8217;t make a valid day on $10,000, however many of them you take. A $30 loss will, because the rule counts losses as well as wins. And a position you open but don&#8217;t close that day doesn&#8217;t count at all, because only closed trades do. So the earliest you can pass a step is on your fifth valid day, provided the target is already reached and nothing is left open.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"clocks\">\n<h2>The clocks that still run<\/h2>\n<p>Put on a timeline, a Fundex24 challenge has short deadlines at the two ends and a long open stretch in the middle. That middle is where the benefit of unlimited time lives, and it&#8217;s also where the 30-day inactivity rule can catch someone who walks away for a month after a bad week.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fundex24-reach\/crypto-prop-firm-no-time-limit-timeline.jpg\" alt=\"Six-step timeline of the only dates on a Fundex24 challenge, from the stage starting and the 30-day first-trade rule to five valid days, the target and the 10-day live request\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Every date that applies, in order; reaching the target itself has none.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The last date comes after Step 2. Once you pass Verification you have 10 days to ask for the funded account with a &#8220;Live account request&#8221; support ticket; the team reviews it and activates the account. Our explainer of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/two-step-crypto-prop-trading-challenge-explained\/\">two-step challenge<\/a> covers what changes between the steps.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"what-fails-accounts\">\n<h2>Deadlines aren&#8217;t what fail accounts. The daily loss is.<\/h2>\n<p>If time pressure were the main problem, removing it would fix most failures. Our own numbers say otherwise. On Fundex24&#8217;s paid challenge accounts over the last 120 days, 59.2% of failed accounts were closed by the daily loss limit and 34.2% by the maximum loss. Only 6.5% failed for something that wasn&#8217;t a loss limit at all.<\/p>\n<p>The timing points the same way. Of those failed accounts, 14.1% went within a day of purchase and 28.3% within three days, but 57.6%, more than half, failed after their first week. These traders weren&#8217;t racing a deadline. Early or late, the most common ending was a single day that went too far, and most failures happen in Step 1.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an hour-of-day pattern as well: 37.6% of daily-loss failures came in the same four hours, 12:00 to 16:00 UTC, the window around the US open. With no deadline, sitting that window out on days you aren&#8217;t ready for it costs you nothing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"change-your-pace\">\n<h2>Four habits that unlimited time makes possible<\/h2>\n<h3>Size from the daily line, not the calendar<\/h3>\n<p>Traders on a deadline work backwards from the date: $1,000 in 30 days means $33 a day, so the size has to produce $33 a day. Without a deadline, start from the other end. Take your daily loss limit and size down until a full bad day is something you can shrug off.<\/p>\n<h3>Skip the days that don&#8217;t suit you<\/h3>\n<p>A central-bank day, a market you haven&#8217;t been following, a morning when you&#8217;re tired. You need five valid days per step, not twenty, and nobody is counting the ones you leave out.<\/p>\n<h3>Never take the last-week gamble<\/h3>\n<p>The classic deadline failure is doubling up in the final days. Here it isn&#8217;t even useful: on a $10,000 Step 1, a single trade that makes $600 or more (60% of the $1,000 target) doesn&#8217;t count toward it.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep a minimum rhythm<\/h3>\n<p>The inactivity rule is the only way unlimited time can bite. If you step away, make sure a trade goes in before 30 days pass. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/pass-fundex24-challenge-without-overtrading\/\">passing without overtrading<\/a> shows how few trades a calm week really needs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"worked-example\">\n<h2>Worked example: a $10,000 Step 1 on BTC, at no-deadline pace<\/h2>\n<p>The account: $10,000, a $1,000 Step 1 target, a $500 daily loss limit and a maximum-loss floor at $9,000.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Risk per trade: $50, half a percent. Ten full losers would be needed to reach the daily line, so a bad day costs you a day, not the account.<\/li>\n<li>Stop distance: BTC&#8217;s average daily range over the last 60 days was 3.1%. A stop 1.25% from entry lets an ordinary day breathe.<\/li>\n<li>Position size: $50 \u00f7 1.25% = $4,000 of BTC, about 0.05 BTC with the price near $81,000 at the time of writing (mid-October 2026). At 1:10 that&#8217;s $400 of margin; at the 5x the trade page preselects, $800.<\/li>\n<li>The widest day: BTC covered 9.8% from low to high on 19 August. Caught on the wrong side without a stop, a $4,000 position would lose about $392, nearly four-fifths of the day&#8217;s limit in one trade. With the stop, the loss is about $50 plus any slippage past it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fundex24-reach\/crypto-prop-firm-no-time-limit-losers.jpg\" alt=\"Bar chart of how many full losing trades it takes to reach a $500 daily loss limit on a $10,000 account, from 2 at $250 risk to 20 at $25 risk\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Halve the risk per trade and the same daily line absorbs twice as many losers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At $50 a trade, the $1,000 target is twenty times your risk. Reaching it in five days takes luck, and on a challenge without a deadline you don&#8217;t need to. If it takes six weeks, the rules don&#8217;t mind. You can test the numbers on the <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/trade\/BTC-USDT\">BTC\/USDT trade page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trading slowly usually means holding positions overnight, so know how the daily loss has worked since 16 October 2026. Each day now starts from the account&#8217;s closed balance at the daily reset, not from its equity. Profit still open at the reset that you give back later is no longer a daily loss. An open loss is different: if your BTC long is $150 under water at the reset, your room for the new day is $350, not $500. Our piece on <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/daily-drawdown-vs-max-loss\/\">daily drawdown vs max loss<\/a> sets out both limits side by side.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"watching-your-room\">\n<h2>Watching the room you have left<\/h2>\n<p>The trade page has a rule-based helper for this. Every account has its own eagle, and on the trade page it shows today&#8217;s room to the daily loss and the distance to the maximum-loss floor. It warns you when a position has no stop, tells you what a new stop would risk against today&#8217;s room, and after a close explains why the trade ended and whether the five-minute or 60% rule kept its profit out of the target. It doesn&#8217;t predict prices and it doesn&#8217;t trade for you, and you can hide it and bring it back from the account menu.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fundex24-reach\/crypto-prop-firm-no-time-limit-trade-desk.jpg\" alt=\"Fundex24 BTC\/USDT trade page with daily candles, order book and order panel, and the guest eagle&apos;s speech bubble with Hatch my eagle and How does it work buttons\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Signed out, you meet the guest eagle; once you join, yours gets its own name and colours and watches your challenge rules while you trade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"where-to-start\">\n<h2>Moving to a prop firm with no time limit: where to start<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s one Fundex24 account that does run on a clock: the free practice account. It lasts three days, comes with $10,000 of virtual money, three resets and leverage up to 1:10, and it&#8217;s a good place to find out what a half-percent risk feels like before it matters. It opens once you <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/signup\">create a free account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the $3,000 challenge costs $29, or $26.10 with the blog code PROPOFF10, and the fee is the most you can lose. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/challenges\">compare the challenge sizes<\/a> first; the Trading Period reads Unlimited on every plan. Be realistic about the odds, though: most challenge accounts fail, and the funded account at the end is simulated, with an 80% profit split.<\/p>\n<p>One warning before you start: at 1:10, a 1% move against you costs 10% of the position&#8217;s margin, and losses build quickly. Nothing here is investment advice or a promise of income.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<h2>No-time-limit challenges: common questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is there really no time limit on a Fundex24 challenge?<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s no deadline for reaching the 10% and 8% targets. The only time rules are about activity: trade within 30 days of a stage starting and never go 30 days without a trade.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens if I don&#8217;t trade for 30 days?<\/h3>\n<p>The challenge fails. Thirty calendar days without a trade, counted from your last one, is the inactivity limit.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I pass a step in five days?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, if you reach the target, have five valid trading days and have no positions open. Five is the minimum, not a goal.<\/p>\n<h3>Does a losing day count as a valid trading day?<\/h3>\n<p>It does, as long as a closed trade&#8217;s net loss is at least 0.25% of the stage&#8217;s starting balance. The rule looks at the size of the result, not its sign.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the free practice account have a time limit?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. It runs for three days with three resets, because it&#8217;s meant for learning the terminal, not for being evaluated.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there any deadline after I pass Step 2?<\/h3>\n<p>One: ask for your funded account with a Live account request ticket within 10 days of passing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No deadline for the 10% and 8% targets, but two activity rules and a five-day minimum.
