Inactivity rule
An inactivity rule closes an account after a run of consecutive days — commonly thirty — without a qualifying trading day.
How it works
The clock usually resets on any qualifying day, using the same definition the minimum-days rule uses, so a day of small losing trades may not stop it. The rule applies to both evaluation and funded accounts at most firms, and it is enforced automatically without warning.
Why it matters on a funded account
A low-frequency strategy that legitimately sits out a quiet month can lose an account for doing exactly what it was designed to do. Together with minimum trading days, the inactivity rule brackets the trading frequency a firm will tolerate — a constraint that belongs in the strategy selection, not in a reminder.
