There is no consistency rule during the evaluation — trade however you like to hit your profit target. The 25% consistency rule only comes into effect once your account is funded.
Once funded, no single trading day may equal or exceed 25% of your total profit for that payout period. If you fail this requirement, payout requests cannot be made until the rule is satisfied. The rule exists to reward steady, skill-based performance rather than one outsized day, and it only applies at the payout stage — not during evaluation.
Example: Once funded, if you make $400 in profit on a single trading day, you'll need to reach at least $1,600 in total profit for that cycle before that day's $400 falls to 25% or below of your total — making you eligible to request a payout.
