The lightning plan is designed for traders looking for an affordable challenge, the Lightning Plan offers a unique approach to prop trading. One of its defining features is the strict limit on the maximum trading days set at 21 days. Here’s everything you need to know about this feature.

What Does “Max Trading Days” Mean?

In the Lightning Plan, “Max Trading Days” refers to the maximum number of calendar days a trader has to achieve the profit target and complete the challenge. This means that once you begin trading, you have exactly 21 calendar days to meet the target.

If the profit target is not reached within these 21 days, the account will be considered breached—this is a hard breach, meaning no exceptions or extensions can be made. The plan requires precision, discipline, and strategic execution.


How to Succeed Within 21 Days

To succeed under the Lightning Plan’s tight timeline, traders must:

  1. Plan Strategically: Every trade counts. Develop a robust trading plan that focuses on consistent gains.

  2. Stay Disciplined: Avoid overtrading or deviating from your strategy in an attempt to meet the target faster.

  3. Utilize Risk Management: Protecting your capital is key. Ensure you stick to risk management rules to avoid unnecessary losses.

  4. Maximize Opportunities: Be ready to act on high-probability setups and take advantage of market opportunities.


The Lightning Plan Advantage

The lightning plan serves as an excellent opportunity for traders to test their skills in a controlled, time-sensitive environment. The affordability of the Lightning Plan makes it an attractive option for those looking to challenge themselves without a significant financial commitment.
