The consistency rule ensures that your profits are spread across multiple trading days rather than coming from a single big win. This protects both the trader and the firm from high-variance trading strategies.
How it works
Challenge and 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.
Example
Your total cycle profit is $3,000. With the 30% rule, 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: If your consistency ratio exceeds the limit (e.g., 40% on a Challenge/Pro account) when you request a payout, the payout will be blocked — even if you meet the 7-day trading requirement and have reached your First Payout Target. You must first dilute your profits by generating additional gains on other days to bring your best-day ratio back below the 30% (or 20% for Instant) threshold. Only then can you request your payout.
The consistency rule applies only when requesting a payout. It does not affect your daily trading or cause account closure. There is no daily loss limit on Challenge or Pro funded accounts.
