What Is the Consistency Rule?
A single day’s profit must not exceed a specific percentage of your total profit during a trading cycle:
Pro Accounts: 30% Max Per Day
S2F (Straight to Funded) Accounts: 20% Max Per Day
Evaluation Accounts: 50% Max Per Day (more lenient)
What Is a Trading Cycle?
A trading cycle is the period of trading between:
Your last approved payout request, or
The first day of trading (if no payouts have been made yet)
How It Works (With Examples)
Pro Account Example
Total profit in cycle: $10,000
Max allowed in one day (30%): $3,000
If you make more than $3,000 in one day → ❌ payout not allowed
S2F Account Example
Total profit in cycle: $10,000
Max allowed in one day (20%): $2,000
If you make more than $2,000 in one day → ❌ payout not allowed
Evaluation Account Example
Total profit in cycle: $10,000
Max allowed in one day (50%): $5,000
Why This Rule Exists
Promotes consistency: Rewards stable strategies over high-risk "one-shot" trades
Reduces risk: Encourages discipline and responsible account growth
Protects payouts: Ensures the trader is performing consistently before real profits are released
What If You Violate the Rule?
You will not be eligible for a payout until your largest single-day profit falls below the allowed percentage of your total profit for that cycle.
You can keep trading to reduce the weight of that high-profit day.
How to Track It
You can monitor your daily profits and consistency directly on your dashboard. We recommend checking frequently, especially as you approach your payout request.
