To ensure our traders rely on genuine skill and consistent execution rather than "lucky shots" or high-risk trading behaviors, TakeCap FT enforces consistency guidelines.
This structure limits how much a single trading day can contribute to your total profit, ensuring your results are balanced and spread out over time.
📊 The Rule Breakdown by Account Type and Plan
The consistency rules apply differently depending on the plan type you purchased:
1. Consistency Plans (1-Phase, 2-Phase, and Subscription Plans): The 40% Rule
Rule: No single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total generated net profit required to pass an evaluation phase or to request a payout.
Formula:
2. Consistency Plans (Instant Plans): The 20% Rule
Rule: Because Instant Plans bypass the evaluation phases, they require a tighter consistency threshold. No single trading day can account for more than 20% of your total generated net profit at the time of a payout request.
Formula:
3. Risk Management Plans: Exempt from Percentage Rules
If you are trading a Risk Management Plan, you are exempt from the 40% and 20% percentage-based P/L consistency rules.
Instead, you must meet the Minimum Positive Days requirement: you must achieve a minimum of 3 positive trading days to pass an evaluation or request a reward. A trading day is counted as positive only if your closed net profit on that day (00:00–23:59 UTC) equals at least 1% of your initial account balance.
⚠️ Important: What happens if you exceed the limit?
If your best trading day exceeds the 40% or 20% threshold, you do not lose your account, and you are not disqualified.
Your account will simply remain active, but you will not be able to pass the evaluation or request a reward. To resolve this, you must continue trading responsibly and generate additional net profits to dilute your best day's percentage back down below the required limit. Once a payout is processed, the consistency calculation resets.
💻 Tracking Consistency on Your Dashboard
We have integrated tracking features directly into your trading dashboard:
1. The P/L Consistency Tracker (Hover Feature):
Under your Trading Objectives, find the "P/L Consistency" widget. Hovering your mouse over this metric displays a tooltip showing your current percentage. If you have exceeded the limit, the tooltip calculations will show exactly how much additional profit you need to generate to satisfy the rule.
2. Finding Your "Best Day" Reference:
Scroll down to the Account Performance section to find your Highest Profitable Day. Our system uses this exact value as the "Best Day" reference for all consistency calculations.
If you ever feel that any of these metrics are displaying incorrect values, please reach out to our Support Team at support@takecapft.com so we can investigate!
💡 The "Easy Way" to Manage Consistency
To avoid having to dilute your profits later, you can calculate your maximum target daily profit from day one based on your initial balance:
For 40% Consistency Plans (Phase 1 - 10% Target): Your best trading day should not exceed 4% of your initial balance.
For 40% Consistency Plans (Phase 2 - 5% Target): Your best trading day should not exceed 2% of your initial balance.
Example Scenario (Phase 1, $100,000 Account):
Your default profit target is $10,000.
Keeping your best trading day under $4,000 (4% of $100,000) ensures you pass smoothly upon hitting the target.
If you make $5,000 in a single day, you have exceeded the 40% threshold of the default target. You must continue trading to increase your total profits beyond $10,000 to dilute that $5,000 day down to 40% or less.
🧮 How is Consistency Calculated? (The Math)
The variables are defined as:
Best Day: The single UTC day (00:00–23:59 UTC) where you realized your highest net profit.
Total Net Profit: The sum of all closed profits currently in the account.
The "Magic Number" Shortcut
To calculate the total net profit you need to clear the rule based on your best day, use the appropriate multiplier:
For 40% Rule Plans: Multiply your Best Day Profit by 2.5
For 20% Rule Plans: Multiply your Best Day Profit by 5.0
Examples in Practice:
Scenario A (40% Consistency Plan): You are in Phase 1 and make $1,000 on your best day. To clear the 40% rule, your total net profit must reach at least $2,500 ($1,000*2.5).
Situation | Best Day | Total Profit | Consistency Score | Result |
Current | $1,000 | $1,500 | 66% ($1,000 ÷ $1,500) | ❌ Not Eligible |
Goal | $1,000 | $2,500 | 40% ($1,000 ÷ $2,500) | ✅ Eligible |
Scenario B (20% Instant Plan): You are trading an Instant Plan and make $1,000 on your best day. To clear the 20% rule, your total net profit must reach at least $5,000 ($1,000 $\times$ 5.0).
Situation | Best Day | Total Profit | Consistency Score | Result |
Current | $1,000 | $3,000 | 33% ($1,000 ÷ $3,000) | ❌ Not Eligible |
Goal | $1,000 | $5,000 | 20% ($1,000 ÷ $5,000) | ✅ Eligible |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Consistency Rule based on my profit today or my highest profit day ever?
It is based on your Best Trading Day (the single UTC day where you realized the highest profit) since the start of your current phase or since your last withdrawal. The rule looks at your historical "peak" day within the current cycle to set the minimum required total profit.
Does "Best Day" mean a single trade or the whole day's result?
It refers to your daily net PnL (00:00–23:59 UTC). If you take multiple trades in one day, it is the sum of all closed results on that calendar day that defines your Best Day, not individual transactions.
Does the consistency target ever go back down?
No, the adjustment is dynamic and cumulative. If you have an even larger winning day later, your required total profit target will increase. It does not reset downwards during the current phase or payout cycle, even if your subsequent trading days are less profitable.
What happens if I withdraw partial profits?
When a withdrawal is successfully processed, the consistency calculation resets. However, if you leave "leftover" profits in the account and then place a new trade, a new consistency window begins. Those leftover funds will remain locked from withdrawal until your new trading activity satisfies the consistency rule.
