MGD — margin-graded duration

MGD proves you engaged real capital for real time rather than hitting the target on one lucky scalp. For every closed position the engine multiplies the engaged margin by the minutes it stayed open and adds them all up; that total has to exceed your plan's reference, which is built from the funded size, a margin percentage and a set duration.

Because it is a product, more margin means less time and the reverse: on a $1,000 account with a 24-hour MGD, $1,000 of margin needs 24 hours while $500 needs 48. Landing exactly on 100% does not clear it — you have to pass it, which is why small scalps that never tie margin up stay far below no matter how profitable they are.
