Best-day percentage

By Omer Rapaport · Content updated 11 September 2026

What does Best-day percentage mean?

Best-day percentage compares the largest qualifying daily profit with the total profit used by a program. Losing days can reduce the denominator and increase the percentage.

Example

A $600 best day is 30% of $2,000 profit but 40% after profit falls to $1,500.

Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.

Why it matters for prop traders

Use the provider’s calculation period and net-profit definition, especially after a payout.

Sources and further reading

The following primary sources support the terminology. Provider rules describe their own products and may change.
