The Consistency Rule is designed to encourage stable, realistic trading performance by ensuring that no single trading day accounts for a disproportionate share of your total profits within a payout cycle.
How It Works
The rule sets a maximum percentage that any single day's profit can represent of your total profits for that payout period.
If one day's profit exceeds the permitted percentage of your total, you must continue trading until that day's contribution falls within the allowed threshold
The rule does not cause an account breach
It only delays payout eligibility until the requirement is met
Each model has its own consistency threshold. Make sure you know the specific percentage that applies to your account before you begin trading.
Example
If your model uses a 25% consistency rule and your biggest single day was $1,500 in profit:
$1,500 must represent no more than 25% of your total profits
25% of $6,000 = $1,500
You must therefore reach at least $6,000 in total profit before you are eligible to request a payout
Until your total profit reaches that threshold, your payout request cannot be submitted.
Where This Applies
Consistency rules vary by model and may apply during:
Evaluation phases
Funded account payout cycles
Not all models have a consistency rule. For the specific threshold that applies to your account, refer to the relevant model article in the Models section of this Help Centre before you begin trading.
