EverFunded does not apply a consistency rule during any evaluation. Once funded, only Flash has one: on a funded Flash account, your best profitable day must be at or below 20% of your total profit for the payout cycle before a payout is eligible.
Funded product | Maximum best-day share of total profit |
2-Step | No consistency rule |
1-Step | No consistency rule |
Flash | 20% |
Instant | No consistency rule |
If the ratio is above 20%, your payout waits until the ratio passes. Nothing is deducted, and it is not a breach: the account keeps trading, and only a payout request waits. Meeting this condition does not approve a payout by itself: the other payout conditions still apply.
Key rule: Consistency ratio = best profitable day ÷ total profit × 100, both from the same payout cycle. A ratio of exactly 20% meets the rule; a higher ratio blocks a payout request until it comes down. The calculation resets after each payout, once it is completed and paid, because that is when the next cycle starts.
How the ratio is calculated
Take the best profitable day and the total profit of the same payout cycle. Both are eligible, realized net profit for server days in that cycle. Profit removed under the news rule does not count. The denominator is the cycle's total net profit, so a losing day reduces it. It is not your account size or your reward share.
Compare the result with 20%. The rule is "at or below": exactly 20% meets it.
A higher ratio waits. You keep trading. Profit is not deducted to make it pass, and no set number of extra days fixes it: the result depends on total profit and your best day, not on the number of days.
Further profitable trading can bring the ratio down if total profit grows without a new, larger best day. The total profit needed is:
Minimum total profit = best day ÷ 0.20
That is not guaranteed. Losses reduce total profit, and a new larger best day raises the numerator. Do not increase risk to chase it.
Worked examples
These examples isolate the consistency condition on a funded Flash account. Unless an example states otherwise, total profit for the cycle is $1,000, all positions are closed, and both figures come from the same cycle. They are calculations, not payout decisions.
Below the limit | Exactly at the limit | Above the limit |
$190 ÷ $1,000 = 19%: meets the rule | $200 ÷ $1,000 = 20%: meets the rule | $210 ÷ $1,000 = 21%: the payout waits |
Dilution, worked through. Each row assumes the best day stays the same:
Best day | Total profit needed |
$300 | $300 ÷ 0.20 = $1,500 |
$500 | $500 ÷ 0.20 = $2,500 |
Example: A funded Flash account with a $300 best day and $1,200 total profit has a ratio of 25%, which is above the 20% limit. At $1,500 total profit, with the same best day, the ratio is 20%, which meets the rule.
Example: The ordinary case. A funded Flash account finishes a payout cycle with $4,000 of total profit and a best profitable day of $600. The ratio is $600 ÷ $4,000 = 15%, at or below the 20% limit, so the consistency condition is met.
Example: The one people get wrong — the denominator is the cycle's profit, not your account size. A funded Flash $10K account finishes a cycle with $500 of total profit and a $150 best day. The ratio is $150 ÷ $500 = 30%, above the 20% limit, so the payout waits. That the best day is only 1.5% of the $10,000 account size does not enter the calculation. Both figures come from the current cycle, so a best day from an earlier cycle does not combine with this cycle's profit.
Example: The other one people get wrong — the rule is Flash only. A funded 1-Step account finishes a cycle with $2,000 of total profit and a $1,200 best day, a ratio of 60%. No consistency rule applies to a 1-Step account, so the ratio does not hold the payout back. The 1-Step payout conditions still apply.
What a shortfall means, and what it does not
A consistency shortfall is a wait, not a penalty. It is not a deduction and not a finding that another rule was breached. Like the news-window exclusion and the scheduled close before a weekend or holiday on a funded 1-Step, Instant or Flash account, it is not a breach.
Passing consistency does not mean you can request now. A funded Flash cycle also needs, among other conditions, 7 qualifying days, at least 3% net profit, at least 14 days since the cycle started unless you bought Payout On Demand, and at least $100 after your reward share. Review and processing are separate steps.
Use figures from the same cycle. A percentage from another product, or another firm, is not the rule for your account, and a best day from an earlier cycle does not combine with current profit.
These examples assume positive total profit. A cycle with zero or negative total profit is not a route to a payout, and every cycle needs at least 3% net profit first.
Nothing applies during an evaluation, or on 2-Step, 1-Step or Instant. Other objectives and trading rules still apply.
