Consistency requirements at YRM Prop are designed to ensure that traders’ profits result from repeatable skill—not just one-off, lucky trades. These rules filter out high-risk “gamblers” and reward traders with sustainable, disciplined strategies.
What are the two core consistency rules?
1. No single day can be more than 35% (Prime) or 20% (Instant Prime) of your total profit.
If one day makes up too much of your total profit, your results depend too much on that day. This might mean you’re relying on risky, unsustainable trades.
Formula:
Single-Day Profit Concentration = (Highest Daily Realized P&L) ÷ (Total Realized P&L)
For Prime Accounts: Max = 35%
For Instant Prime Accounts: Max = 20%
2. You must have at least 10 profitable trading days.
You need to show that you can generate profit on multiple separate occasions—not just a couple of lucky streaks.
Examples:
Prime Account (35% Rule)
Total Realized Profit: $2,400
Highest Daily Profit: $700
Profitable Days: 12
Calculation:
700 ÷ 2,400 = 29.2%
29.2% ≤ 35% AND 12 ≥ 10
→ Passes Consistency
Instant Prime Account (20% Rule)
Total Realized Profit: $3,500
Highest Daily Profit: $950
Profitable Days: 12
Calculation:
950 ÷ 3,500 = 27.1%
27.1% > 20% (Fail, even though 12 days is enough)
What if I don’t meet the consistency rule?
You keep your profit, and the day still counts as a trading day.
But you do NOT qualify for payout until you meet both consistency requirements.
You’ll need to continue trading, spreading your profits out over more days, or avoiding huge outlier days in the future.
Potential loophole:
Some traders might try to “game” this by deliberately capping profits on strong days, or splitting entries/exits. YRM Prop monitors for manipulation. If detected, your account could be flagged or reviewed.
What is the logic behind these rules?
1. Risk Management:
Reduces reliance on one or two trades—forces you to demonstrate steady skill.
2. Payout Protection:
Prevents “one-hit wonders” from quickly withdrawing large amounts without demonstrating they can repeat performance.
3. Real-World Readiness:
Prepares you for real capital allocation where consistent returns matter far more than occasional windfalls.How can I pass the consistency check?
Plan for at least 10 separate profitable days.
(Don’t “overconcentrate” all your profits in one day.)
Manage your position size on big days.
If you’re having a huge day, consider scaling out or leaving some “on the table” to avoid breaching the threshold.
Track your highest daily P&L vs. your total realized P&L in a spreadsheet or journal. Know where you stand before requesting payout.
Stay systematic:
Follow a repeatable process with good risk management, and you’ll naturally stay within these limits.
