The Consistency Rule ensures that trading performance is stable and not reliant on a single large trading day. It applies only to funded accounts; there is no consistency rule during the evaluation.
How the 40% rule works
Your largest single trading day must not exceed 40% of your total profits in your current payout cycle.
Formula: Consistency % = (Largest winning day ÷ Total profit) × 100. This value must be 40% or less. To find the minimum total profit you need based on your best day: Total profit needed = Largest winning day ÷ 0.40.
Example | Total profit | Largest winning day | Consistency | Result |
Valid | $5,000 | $2,000 | 40% | Valid |
Not valid | $4,000 | $2,200 | 55% | Not valid |
When the rule applies
The consistency rule is checked when you submit a payout request, based on your current total profit at that moment.
How to get below the 40% mark
If your account exceeds the 40% limit, continue trading to increase your total profit, which reduces the percentage impact of your largest winning day.
Example: your largest day is $2,000. To be compliant (40% or less), your total profit must be at least $5,000.
Good to know
Applies only to funded accounts.
Applies only to profitable days.
Based on closed trades only.
Recalculated continuously as your profit changes.
Your highest profit day keeps being recorded, whether the account is in drawdown or in profit.
After a payout is taken, your total profits reset and the consistency rule starts again based on new profits moving forward.
Your largest winning day may never be more than 40% of the total profit in your current payout cycle. If it is, keep trading until it is.
