Consistency Rule

Learn about the consistency rules. Please see the difference between Evaluation Accounts and Pro Accounts

Updated this week

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.
