The consistency rule ensures that profits are spread across multiple trading days rather than coming from a single big win. The rule depends on your program.
How it works
Zero funded accounts: no consistency rule. Your payouts are not subject to any best-day ratio.
Pro funded accounts: your best single trading day must not exceed 30% of your total cycle profit.
Instant funded accounts: your best single trading day must not exceed 20% of your total cycle profit.
Evaluation phase (Zero and Pro): your best single trading day must not exceed 50% of your total profit at the moment you reach the profit target (1% tolerance applied).
Example (Pro funded, 30% rule)
Your total cycle profit is $3,000. No single day can account for more than $900 (30% of $3,000). If your best day is $1,200, you would need at least $4,000 in total profit ($1,200 / 0.30) before requesting a payout.
Important: on Pro and Instant accounts, if your consistency ratio exceeds the limit when you request a payout, the payout will be blocked — even if your payout cycle requirements are met. You must first dilute your profits by generating additional gains on other days to bring your best-day ratio back below your program's threshold (30% Pro, 20% Instant). Only then can you request your payout.
The consistency rule applies only when requesting a payout (Pro, Instant) or validating the evaluation (Zero, Pro). It never affects your daily trading and never causes account closure.
