Consistency rules help ensure that traders demonstrate stable and repeatable performance rather than relying on a single large trade.
The rule limits how much of the total profit can come from a single trading day.
One-Step Evaluation
The One-Step evaluation uses a 40% consistency rule.
This means:
No single trading day may exceed 40% of the total profit in the account.
Example
If a trader has $2,000 in total profit, the largest trading day cannot exceed:
$800
Two-Step Evaluation
The Two-Step evaluation uses a 50% consistency rule.
This means:
No single trading day may exceed 50% of the total profit in the account.
Example
If the account has $4,000 in profit, the largest trading day cannot exceed:
$2,000
