Yes, Shark Futures challenges must be completed within 30 days from the date you start. You have this window to reach your profit target and fulfill all challenge requirements.
Key points about challenge timing:
30-day completion window: Your challenge must be passed within 30 calendar days of starting. If you do not reach the profit target within this period, the challenge will expire and you will need to reset or repurchase to try again.
Minimum trading days: While you have up to 30 days, you must trade on at least 2 separate calendar days to pass the challenge. This minimum requirement ensures you can demonstrate consistent trading rather than relying on a single day of performance.
50% Consistency Rule: Maintain 50% consistency between all trading days accrued until passing the challenge.
Trading session restrictions: Remember that you must close all positions by 4:15 PM EST each day and cannot hold positions over weekends.
Challenge reset: If you fail a challenge - either by violating a trading rule or by not passing within the 30-day window - you can reset it immediately by repurchasing.
Post-passing activation: After successfully passing a challenge, you have 30 days to activate your PRO Account. If you don't activate within this timeframe, you'll need to pass a new challenge.
This 30-day structure encourages focused, consistent trading while still giving you ample time to develop your strategy and reach your target without unnecessary pressure.
