Consistency Rule Overview ( Evaluations )
Two-Day Pass Evaluation with 50% Consistency Rule
The evaluation is designed to assess consistency and profitability over two trading days. The rules are simple: traders must meet the profit target while adhering to the 50% consistency rule. Here’s how it works:
• Profit Target: For a $50,000 account, the profit target is $3,000 over two days.
• Consistency Rule: No more than 50% of the total profit target can be achieved in one day. The remaining profit must be achieved on the second day.
Example for a $50,000 Account:
• Day 1: The trader may generate up to $1,500 in profit.
• Day 2: The trader must generate the remaining $1,500 to reach the $3,000 target and pass the evaluation.
The two-day structure ensures traders demonstrate discipline and consistency across multiple trading sessions.
Consistency Rule Overview (Funded Accounts)
Consistency Rule Compliance: Traders must follow the Consistency Rule, which is designed to ensure stable and responsible trading behavior. The consistency percentage updates based on the payout cycle:
Payout 1: 40% maximum per trading day
Payout 2: 40% maximum per trading day
Payout 3: 45% maximum per trading day
Payout 4: 50% maximum per trading day
Payouts 5 and 6: No consistency rule applies
What This Means
In funded accounts, traders must ensure that no single trading day exceeds the Consistency Rule percentage, based on the payout stage, relative to the account’s total realized gains. This rule applies only to realized profits over time and must be met to qualify for a payout.
Example: Following Consistency Rules
Account: $50,000 Funded Account on Payout #1 (40% Consistency)
5-Day Trading Gains:
Day 1: +$780
Day 2: +$540
Day 3: +$980
Day 4: +$850
Day 5: +$720
Total Gains: $3,870
Account Value: $53,870
To check compliance, calculate 40% of total gains:
$3,870 x 0.40 = $1,548
Since none of the daily gains exceeded $1,548, the trader met the consistency rule and is eligible for payout.
Example: Not Following Consistency Rules
Account: $50,000 Funded Account on Payout #1 (40% Consistency)
5-Day Trading Gains:
Day 1: +$780
Day 2: +$540
Day 3: +$4,100
Day 4: +$850
Day 5: +$380
Total Gains: $6,650
Account Value: $56,650
Here, 40% of total gains is:
$6,650 x 0.40 = $2,660
Since Day 3’s gains of $4,100 exceed $2,660, the consistency rule was breached, disqualifying this trader from cashing out.
What Happens if the Consistency Rule is Broken?
If a trader exceeds the Consistency Rule on any trading day, their account will not be breached. Instead, the trader simply needs to continue trading until their account meets the consistency rule.
To requalify, the largest daily gain ($4,100) is divided by 0.40 to determine the new minimum gains target:
$4,100 / 0.40 = $10,250
Then, calculate the difference between this target and total current gains:
$10,250 - $6,650 = $3,600
The trader must achieve an additional $3,600 in gains, bringing the account to $60,250, to meet the consistency rule and become eligible for withdrawal. This rule prepares traders to maintain disciplined and consistent performance in live markets.
