FLEX and RAPID accounts share several trading rules, including the 60% Consistency Rule.
The purpose of this rule is to encourage consistent trading and discourage traders from generating the majority of their profits from one unusually large trading day.
How is the 60% Consistency Rule calculated?
Your most profitable trading day cannot represent more than 60% of your total profits at the time you request a reward/payout.
The formula is:
Best Trading Day ÷ Total Profit × 100 = Consistency Percentage
For example, if your total profit is $1,000 and your best trading day was $500:
$500 ÷ $1,000 × 100 = 50%
Your consistency percentage is 50%, so you meet the 60% consistency requirement.
However, if your best trading day was $700 and your total profit was $1,000:
$700 ÷ $1,000 × 100 = 70%
You would not yet qualify because your best day represents 70% of your total profit.
What happens if I exceed 60%?
Exceeding 60% does not necessarily mean you breached the account. It means you need to continue trading and generating additional profits until your best trading day represents 60% or less of your total profit.
For example, if your best day is $700, you would need at least $1,166.67 in total profit:
$700 ÷ $1,166.67 = 60%
Once your consistency percentage reaches 60% or lower and you meet all other applicable requirements, you can become eligible to submit your reward request.
Important: The consistency rule is designed to reward sustainable trading performance rather than profits generated primarily from one large trading day.
