PAYDAY Account 8 Hour Timeframe
The PAYDAY Account has a fixed 8 hour trading window.
This means traders have 8 hours to complete the required number of qualifying profitable trades, based on the multiplier selected at purchase.
When Does the 8 Hour Timer Start?
The 8 hour timer starts from the trader’s first trade.
The timer does not start when the PAYDAY Account is purchased or created.
This gives traders more flexibility to purchase their PAYDAY Account, complete any required setup steps, review the markets, and begin trading when they are ready.
Once the first trade is placed, the 8 hour PAYDAY trading window begins.
3 Day Inactivity Timer
Although the 8 hour trading window starts from the first trade, PAYDAY Accounts also have a 3 day inactivity timer.
This means traders must place their first trade within 3 days of purchasing the account.
If no trade is placed within the 3 day inactivity period, the account may become inactive or breached and may no longer be eligible for payout.
Purchasing When Markets Are Open
Traders are not required to purchase their PAYDAY Account only when markets are open.
However, we recommend purchasing the account when the markets they want to trade are available, or when they know they will be ready to start trading within the 3 day inactivity period.
Since the 8 hour timer no longer starts at purchase, traders have more flexibility to choose when they begin trading.
However, once the first trade is placed, the 8 hour window begins immediately.
For example, if a trader wants to trade FX pairs, they may prefer to place their first trade while FX markets are open.
Crypto trading may be available after FX markets close, but traders should always make sure their preferred market is available before starting their first trade.
Prepare Your Platform Before Trading
To make the most of the 8 hour trading window, we recommend setting up and reviewing everything before placing the first trade.
Before starting, traders should make sure they have:
Checked that they understand how to place and close trades.
Confirmed that their preferred market is available.
Reviewed the PAYDAY Account rules.
Completed all required dashboard steps.
Once the first trade is placed, the 8 hour timer starts and cannot be paused or reset.
KYC and Contract Completion
Traders should complete their KYC verification and contract as soon as possible.
If KYC and the contract are not completed, the PAYDAY Account will remain on read only.
This means the trader may be able to view the account, but they will not be able to trade until the required verification steps are completed.
Since the 8 hour timer starts from the first trade, traders should complete KYC and the contract before placing their first trade whenever possible.
To avoid delays, traders should complete all required dashboard steps immediately after purchase, or as soon as they become available.
If the trader faces any issues or delays, they should contact our 24/7 live support team right away.
Rise Account Linking
In order to request a payout, traders must have their Rise account linked.
The Rise account can be linked directly through the trader dashboard.
If the trader completes the PAYDAY Account objective but has not linked their Rise account, they may not be able to submit a payout request until this step is completed.
We recommend linking the Rise account as early as possible to help avoid payout delays.
What Happens If the 8 Hour Window Expires?
If the trader does not complete the required number of qualifying profitable trades within the 8 hour window, the account will no longer be eligible for payout.
The account objective must be completed before the timer expires.
