10-Four Base – Consistency Requirement

P

The Consistency Percentage measures how evenly profits are distributed across trading days.

The objective is to ensure traders are not passing the evaluation based on a single oversized day.

For the 10-Four Base Evaluation:

  • Your Consistency Percentage must be 50% or less

  • This requirement must be met before upgrading to a funded account

How Consistency Is Calculated

Use the following formula:

Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Total Account Profit = Consistency Percentage

Example

You are trading a $50,000 Base Evaluation account.

  • Profit Target: $3,000

  • Largest Single Day Profit: $750

Calculation:

$750 ÷ $3,000 = 25%

Since 25% is below the 50% threshold, the consistency requirement is satisfied and you are eligible for upgrade (assuming all other objectives are met).

If your largest trading day exceeds 50% of total profit, you must continue trading until your largest day falls at or below 50%.

Consistency Cushion

The 10-Four Base Evaluation includes a built-in cushion within the 50% rule.

This cushion allows slight flexibility and makes it possible to pass efficiently, including within two trading days under certain conditions.

Below is an example based on hitting the exact profit target:

Account Size

Profit Target

50% Threshold

Example Cushion

$25,000

$1,250

$625

$650

$50,000

$3,000

$1,500

$1,560

$100,000

$6,000

$3,000

$3,120

$150,000

$9,000

$4,500

$4,680

Important:

  • The cushion is percentage-based, not fixed.

  • It adjusts dynamically depending on your actual profit.

  • The dollar values above are illustrative examples only.

The consistency structure is designed to promote disciplined performance rather than one-day volatility.
