How are Consistency Rules calculated exactly? Can I see the formula?

Updated today

Exactly how it's calculated:

CR (%) = (Profit from Your Single Best Trading Day ÷ Total Closed Profit) × 100

You pass if: CR ≤ 40%


🧮 Step-by-Step Calculation (with Real Examples)

Scenario 1: Failing CR (Too Concentrated)

Day

Profit

Notes

1

+$200

Small win

2

+$5,000

Big win!

3

+$300

Small win

4

-$500

Loss

  1. Identify Biggest Win: Day 2 = $5,000

  2. Calculate Total Closed Profit:
    = All green days = $200 + $5,000 + $300 = $5,500
    (Losses reduce your balance but aren't "profit")

  3. Apply Formula:

CR = ($5,000 ÷ $5,500) × 100 ≈ **90.9%**

90.9% > 40% → ❌ CONTINUE TRADING UNTIL CR% < 40%


Scenario 2: Passing CR (Balanced Profits)

Day

Profit

Notes

1

+$1,800

Medium win

2

+$2,400

Medium win

3

+$3,000

Largest win

4

+$2,200

Medium win

5

-$800

Loss

  1. Identify Biggest Win: Day 3 = $3,000

  2. Total Closed Profit:
    = $1,800 + $2,400 + $3,000 + $2,200 = $9,400

  3. Apply Formula:

CR = ($3,000 ÷ $9,400) × 100 ≈ **31.9%**

31.9% ≤ 40% → ✅ PASS


⚠️ Critical Notes

Rule

Example

Impact on CR

Only profitable days count for "Biggest Win"

Day 5 (-$800) ignored

No effect

Losses reduce total profit

$10K profit + $4K loss = $6K total

CR increases!

Open trades don’t count

Floating $1K profit? Excluded

No effect


🔧 How to Fix High CR

If your CR is 50%:

Required Additional Profit = (Biggest Win ÷ 0.4) - Current Profit

Example:

  • Biggest Win = $6,000

  • Current Profit = $10,000

  • Required = ($6,000 ÷ 0.4) - $10,000 = $5,000 more
    → Earn $5,000 in smaller wins → CR drops to 40%


💡 Why This Formula is Fair

  • Same for everyone: $10K or $100K accounts

  • Rewards consistency: Not luck

  • Transparent: No hidden metrics


🍕 Think Like Pizza:

  • Bad: 1 slice = 90% of the pizza

  • Good: 5 slices = each 20%

  • Rule: No slice >40%!
