The consistency rule ensures that your trading results are sustainable and not driven by a single outsized trade. The rule applies on both evaluations and funded accounts, but the threshold and which asset classes it applies to differ.
Evaluation Consistency
The evaluation consistency rule applies to Stocks and Crypto evaluations only. Futures evaluations are exempt — because futures evals can be passed in a single trading day, no consistency check is enforced.
| Asset Class | Eval Consistency Threshold |
|---|---|
| Futures | None — can pass in 1 day |
| Stocks | 50% |
| Crypto | 50% |
On stocks and crypto evals, no single trading day can account for more than 50% of your total profit at the time you hit the profit target. This is checked when the evaluation is reviewed for advancement.
On a $50K stocks eval with a $3,000 profit target: if your best day was $1,400 (47% of $3,000), you pass. If your best day was $1,800 (60%), you'd need to continue trading until that day is 50% or less of your total profit.
Funded Account Consistency
On funded accounts, no single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total profits at the time of a payout request. This applies to all asset classes (futures, stocks, crypto, all-in-one) and is checked every time you request a payout.
The funded consistency threshold is 30% — no single day's profit can exceed 30% of your total account profit when you request a payout.
Funded Example
You've earned $3,000 in total profit on your funded account and request a payout. The consistency rule checks that no single day contributed more than $900 (30% of $3,000).
If your best day was $850, you pass — it's under 30%.
If your best day was $2,000, that's 67% of your total — you'd need to continue trading until that day represents 30% or less of your total profit.
Summary — When Does It Apply?
| Account Stage | Asset Class | Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Futures | — (none) |
| Evaluation | Stocks | 50% |
| Evaluation | Crypto | 50% |
| Funded | All | 30% |
- Calculated based on total realized profit.
- You can continue trading to bring your best day within the threshold.
Tips for Staying Consistent
- Set daily profit targets that are reasonable relative to your account size.
- Avoid letting a single winning trade dominate your P&L.
- Trade regularly — spreading profits across multiple days naturally satisfies the rule.
- If you have a big winning day, keep trading on subsequent days to dilute it below 30%.
The consistency rule rewards disciplined, repeatable trading. Focus on consistent daily performance rather than swinging for home runs.
Red Flag Behavior
Accounts may be flagged for review if any of the following patterns are detected:
- Sudden position size increases before a payout request
- One-trade profit spikes that dominate overall P&L
- Strategy switching to bypass rules
- Minimal trading followed by a large single gain
