The consistency rule ensures that your trading results are sustainable and not driven by a single outsized trade. It applies to funded accounts and is checked when you request a payout.
How It Works
No single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total profits at the time of a payout request. This ensures that your results reflect consistent, repeatable trading — not one lucky trade.
The consistency threshold is 30% — no single day's profit can exceed 30% of your total account profit when you request a payout.
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.
When Does It Apply?
- Only applies to funded accounts (not evaluations).
- Calculated based on your total realized profit.
- You can continue trading to bring your best day within the 30% 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
