Why Consistency Rules Exist
At YRM Prop, payouts are reserved for traders who show repeatable skill. Consistency rules prevent “one-hit wonders” from passing with a single big win and reward traders who demonstrate steady, disciplined performance.
Consistency applies to all funded account types: Starter, Prime, and Instant Prime.
The Two Core Consistency Rules
1. Single-Day Profit Concentration Rule
Starter (Challenge): No single profitable day may exceed 50% of your total profit.
Prime: No single profitable day may exceed 35% of your total profit.
Instant Prime: No single profitable day may exceed 20% of your total profit.
Formula:
Single Day Concentration = Highest Daily Profit ÷ Total Profit
2. Minimum Profitable Days Rule
You must have at least 10 profitable trading days (for payout eligibility).
Starter accounts require a minimum of 2 profitable days to pass the evaluation.
Profitable days do not need to be consecutive, but each must show at least $150 profit to count toward the minimum.
Examples by Account Type
Starter Account (50% Rule, 2 Profitable Days Minimum)
Account: $50K Challenge
Total Profit: $2,800
Day 1: +$1,500
Day 2: +$1,300
Check Concentration:
Highest daily profit = $1,500
$1,500 ÷ $2,800 = 53.5% → Fail (too concentrated in one day).
Solution: Trader must keep trading to raise total profits and dilute the % below 50%.
Prime Account (35% Rule, 10 Profitable Days Minimum)
Total Profit: $2,400
Highest Daily Profit: $700
Profitable Days: 12
Check Concentration:
$700 ÷ $2,400 = 29.2% → Pass
12 profitable days ≥ 10 → ✅ Meets both rules.
Result: Eligible for payout.
Prime Account (Fail Example)
Total Profit: $2,000
Highest Daily Profit: $900
Profitable Days: 11
Check Concentration:
$900 ÷ $2,000 = 45% → Fail
Even with 11 days, the account fails because one day dominates profit.
Instant Prime Account (20% Rule, 10 Profitable Days Minimum)
Total Profit: $3,500
Highest Daily Profit: $950
Profitable Days: 12
Check Concentration:
$950 ÷ $3,500 = 27.1% → Fail (too high).
Solution: Keep trading, add profits on other days until the big day’s share is ≤ 20%.
Instant Prime Account (Pass Example)
Total Profit: $3,000
Highest Daily Profit: $600
Profitable Days: 11
Check Concentration:
$600 ÷ $3,000 = 20% → Pass
11 profitable days ≥ 10 → ✅ Meets both rules.
What If You Don’t Meet Consistency?
Your trades and profits remain, but you cannot request payout until consistency is achieved.
Continue trading to add more profitable days and dilute the largest day’s weight.
Important Notes
Buffer Allowance: Our systems allow for a small rounding buffer — don’t panic if you’re slightly over the limit.
No “gaming the system”: Deliberately splitting trades or artificially capping days may trigger review.
Minimum Profitable Day Rule: Each of the 10 days must be at least $150 profit to count.
Best Practices for Passing
Track your highest daily profit vs. total in a journal or spreadsheet.
Scale down positions on large winning days to avoid concentration violations.
Plan trades so profits are spread across multiple days.
Remember: steady growth > one big win.
Consistency Summary Table
Account Type | Max Single-Day % | Min Profitable Days | Example Pass | Example Fail |
Starter | 50% | 2 | $1,300/$2,800 = 46% | $1,500/$2,800 = 53.5% |
Prime | 35% | 10 | $700/$2,400 = 29.2% | $900/$2,000 = 45% |
Instant Prime | 20% | 10 | $600/$3,000 = 20% | $950/$3,500 = 27.1% |
