20% Consistency Rule
All Instant Funded accounts must follow the 20% consistency rule in order to be eligible for payouts. This rule is designed to promote steady, repeatable trading behavior instead of aggressive or one-off spikes in performance.
Your highest profitable day cannot exceed 20% of your total profits at the time of a payout request. If this rule is not followed, your payout will be denied until your account becomes compliant.
Total profits are defined as the amount above your starting balance. Any gains used to recover drawdown do not count toward this total. Only net profits held above the starting balance are considered.
Here’s how the rule works in action:
Example 1:
You start with a $10,000 account
Over time, your balance grows to $12,000
This means you have $2,000 in total profit
Your highest profitable day cannot exceed $400 (20% of $2,000)
Example 2:
Your account goes into $500 drawdown, then climbs back up to break even
You later grow the balance from $10,000 to $11,500
Your total profits are $1,500
Your highest profitable day must be no more than $300
If you’re unsure whether your account meets the rule, you can use your most profitable day to find the minimum profit needed to pass:
Take your highest single-day profit and divide it by 0.2
Example:
Your best trading day made $500
$500 ÷ 0.2 = $2,500
You need at least $2,500 in total profit to request a payout
We also consider fees and commissions when calculating profit per day. If you open 10 positions in a day and end the day with $500 in profit (after fees), that $500 is used for consistency calculations.
This is not a breachable offense. If your payout is denied due to the consistency rule, we’ll kindly inform you and explain how your account can be brought into compliance.
Trading with consistency shows control, discipline, and repeatable skill. These are key traits we look for in funded traders.
