Consistency Rule – 40% Max Daily Profit


What Is the Consistency Rule?

The Consistency Rule is applied exclusively to Funded Accounts. It ensures that traders demonstrate steady and repeatable performance, rather than relying on a single large winning day.

Definition: At the time of a payout request, your largest single-day net profit must not exceed 40% of your total net profit since funding began.

This rule is enforced automatically and only during payout evaluation.


Why Do We Use It?

The Consistency Rule exists to:

  • Encourage disciplined, professional trading habits
  • Prevent risky “all-in” trading styles
  • Promote long-term, sustainable growth
  • Ensure payouts reflect repeatable skill, not one-time luck
  • Prepare traders for future live capital transition

It is not meant to penalize, but to protect both the trader and the funding system.


When Is the Rule Checked?

  • Only at the moment of a payout request
  • The system calculates the percentage of your biggest winning day relative to your total net profit
  • You will see your consistency status in the Funding Dashboard

Note: It has no effect on your ability to trade or progress in the program.


What Happens If You Are Not Eligible?

If your best trading day is over the 40% threshold:

  • Your payout request will not be approved
  • Your funded account continues as normal
  • You may keep trading and increase your total profit
  • Once the threshold is respected, you may submit a new payout request
⚠️ No reset or penalty occurs. You are simply advised to continue building a smoother profit curve.

Examples – Understanding the Rule

❌ Example: Not Consistent

  • Total net profit: $1,000
  • Best trading day: $600
  • 40% of $1,000 = $400
  • $600 is 60% → Payout not eligible

Trader must continue until total profit is higher or new winning days reduce the imbalance.

✅ Example: Consistent

  • Total net profit: $2,500
  • Best trading day: $800
  • 40% of $2,500 = $1,000
  • $800 is 32% → Payout eligible

✅ Example: Fixed Through Continued Trading

  • Initial profit: $1,000
  • Best day: $500 → 50% (too high)
  • Trader adds $1,000 more profit steadily
  • Total = $2,000
  • 40% = $800 → $500 is now 25% → Eligible

Professional Tips

  • Build a steady equity curve: avoid front-loading profits
  • Trade smaller size (1–3 contracts) in your first week
  • Journal trades to avoid revenge trading after big winners
  • Focus on execution, not just payout milestones
