Purpose of Consistency Rules

Updated today

Why they exist: To make sure your profits come from steady skill – not just one lucky trade. Think of it like a diet: Eating one huge pizza won’t ruin your health, but if it’s 80% of your meals, you’re not eating balanced!


📊 How CR Works (Easy Math & Example)

The Rule:

Your biggest winning day can’t be more than 40% of your total profits.

Example: Trader Alex ($1,000 Account)

Day

Profit

What Happened

1

+$100

Small win ✅

2

+$500

Big win! 🚀

3

+$50

Small win ✅

4

-$20

Loss (ignored for CR)

Step 1: Find Biggest Win
→ Day 2: $500

Step 2: Calculate Total Profit
= $100 + $500 + $50 = $650

Step 3: Check the 40% Rule

CR = (Biggest Win ÷ Total Profit) × 100 = ($500 ÷ $650) × 100 ≈ **77%**

77% > 40% → ❌ Continue Trading!
Alex’s Day 2 win is too dominant.


🔧 How to Fix It

Alex needs to add smaller wins to "dilute" the ratio:

Day

New Profit

New Total Profit

New CR

Status

5

+$200

$650 + $200 = $850

$500 ÷ $850 ≈ 59%

6

+$300

$1,150

$500 ÷ $1,150 ≈ 43%

7

+$400

$1,550

$500 ÷ $1,550 ≈ 32%

✅ Pass!

✅ Now compliant! Alex’s $500 win is only 32% of his $1,550 total.
