Why Consistency Rules Exist
At YRM Prop, payouts and progression are reserved for traders who show repeatable skill. Consistency rules prevent traders from qualifying off one oversized win and reward steady, disciplined performance.
Consistency rules apply across Starter, Prime, and Instant Prime, but the thresholds differ by product..
The Two Core Consistency Rules
1. Single-Day Profit Concentration Rule
No single profitable day may exceed the allowed percentage of your total profit for the cycle you’re currently in.
Account Type | Max % From One Day |
Starter (Challenge) | 50% |
Prime | 35% |
Instant Prime | 20% |
Formula
Highest profitable day ÷ Total profit = concentration %
If the result is above your product limit, consistency is not met.
2. Minimum Qualifying Days Rule
To qualify for passing or payout, you must meet a minimum number of qualifying trading days.
Account Type | Minimum Qualifying Days | What It’s For |
Starter (Challenge) | 2 | Pass evaluation |
Prime | 6 | Payout eligibility |
Instant Prime | 8 | Payout eligibility |
Definition of a Qualifying Day
A qualifying day is a day where:
You place at least one trade, and
The day closes with at least $150 net profit
Qualifying days do not need to be consecutive.
Examples
Starter Challenge (50% Rule, 2-Day Minimum)
Account: $50K Challenge
Total profit: $2,800
Day 1: $1,500
Day 2: $1,300
Check: $1,500 ÷ $2,800 = 53.5% → Fail
Solution: Keep trading and add profit across more days to dilute the big day.
Prime (Pass Example: 35% Rule, 6 Qualifying Days)
Total profit: $2,400
Highest day: $700
Qualifying days: 7
Check: $700 ÷ $2,400 = 29.2% → Pass
Days: 7 ≥ 6 → Pass
Result: Eligible to request payout (assuming all other payout rules are met).
Prime (Fail Example)
Total profit: $2,000
Highest day: $900
Qualifying days: 8
Check: $900 ÷ $2,000 = 45% → Fail
Even with enough days, the cycle fails because one day dominates profit.
Instant Prime (Fail Example: 20% Rule, 8 Qualifying Days)
Total profit: $3,500
Highest day: $950
Qualifying days: 9
Check: $950 ÷ $3,500 = 27.1% → Fail
Solution: Add more qualifying profit days so the largest day drops to 20% or less.
Instant Prime (Pass Example)
Total profit: $3,000
Highest day: $600
Qualifying days: 8
Check: $600 ÷ $3,000 = 20% → Pass
Days: 8 ≥ 8 → Pass
If You Don’t Meet Consistency
Your trades and profits remain in the account
You just cannot request payout yet
Continue trading to add more qualifying days and spread profit across multiple sessions
