What is the Consistency Rule?

Updated this week

The Consistency Rule is designed to promote steady, controlled trading by limiting how much profit can be made in a single day.

According to this rule, your daily profits should not exceed 50% of either:

  • the Profit Target (for Challenge Accounts), or

  • the Safety Zone (for Direct Pass Accounts)


🧠 Examples:

  • Challenge Account Example:
    If you’re trading a $50,000 challenge account with a $2,400 profit target,
    your daily profit should not exceed $1,200 (which is 50% of $2,400).

  • Direct Pass Account Example:
    On a $25,000 Direct Pass account, the Safety Zone is $900.
    Your daily profit should not exceed $450 (which is 50% of the safety zone).


⚠️ What Happens If You Break the Consistency Rule?

  • First Violation:
    You will receive an email notification, and any profits that exceed the 50% daily limit will be removed from your account.

  • Second Violation:
    The account will be suspended and considered failed due to repeated inconsistency.

  • Note: In the case of direct passes, accounts will be canceled without a second chance and without the right to claims or charges once the account is disabled.


📌 This rule helps ensure you're demonstrating discipline, control, and repeatable trading behavior, which are key to long-term success.
