🔢 40% Consistency Rule Calculation

Formula:

Consistency Ratio (CR) = (Largest Single Trade Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100

Example:

  • Total Profit = $5,000

  • Largest Trade Profit = $2,500

  • CR = ($2,500 ÷ $5,000) × 100 = 50%Violation (Must be ≤40%)

💡How to Fix It?

  • Continue trading until your largest trade is ≤40% of total profits.

  • Example: Earn $1,000 more → New Total Profit = $6,000

    • CR = ($2,500 ÷ $6,000) × 100 = 41.6% (Still high? Keep trading!)
