Are there any trading consistency rules?

Updated this week

To promote stable and consistent trading, we have a consistency rule that applies to specific account types:


Starter Account

30% Consistency Rule - This rule applies to both the Challenge and Sim Live stages.

  • Profits from any single trading day can't exceed 30% of the total profits made.


Expert Account

40% Consistency Rule - This rule applies only to the Sim Live stage.

  • Profits from any single trading day cannot exceed 40% of the total profits made.


Sim Live Account

20% Consistency Rule - This rule applies throughout the Sim Live stage.

  • Profits from any single trading day cannot exceed 20% of the total profits made.


How the Consistency Rule Works

If your profits from one day exceed the allowed percentage of the total profits (30% for Starter, 40% for Expert, 20% for Sim Live), you must continue trading until each trading day’s profit falls below the consistency threshold.


Example Scenarios

Starter Account (30% Consistency Rule)

  • Challenge Stage: If you’ve made $8,000 in total profits during the Challenge phase, but you earned $3,000 in a single day (over 30% of the total), you must keep trading until that day’s profit is below 30% of the updated total.

  • For example, by making an additional $2,000, your total profits increase to $10,000, meaning the $3,000 day is now exactly 30% and eligible for a Live account.

  • Live Stage: Suppose you have $10,000 in total profits in the Live stage, and in one day, you made $4,000. This amount exceeds 30%, so you’ll need to continue trading.

  • Adding $2,000 in profits would increase your total to $12,000, making the $4,000 day fall within the 30% rule, thus allowing withdrawals.


Expert Account (40% Consistency Rule)

  • Imagine you’ve made $15,000 in total profits in the Live stage. If you earn $6,500 in one day, which is over the 40% threshold, you’ll need to continue trading.

  • By making an additional $3,000, your total profits increase to $18,000, so $6,500 would now be below the 40% limit, making your profits eligible for withdrawal.


Sim Live Account (20% Consistency Rule)

  • Suppose you’ve made $5,000 in total profits in Sim Live. If in one day you make $1,500, this equals 30% of the total, which breaches the 20% rule.

  • You must continue trading until your total profits increase enough to bring that $1,500 day below 20%.

  • For example, by earning an additional $2,500, your total profits rise to $7,500. Now, the $1,500 day is exactly 20% of the total and compliant with the rule.
