Consistency Rule

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

Updated today

In any trading cycle, no single day’s profit may account for more than 30% of the total profits earned during that cycle. For example, if your total profit over a trading cycle is $10,000, no more than $3,000 can be made in a single trading day.

At DayTraders.com, we emphasize consistent and sustainable trading practices. To ensure this, we have implemented the 30% Consistency Rule for Pro Accounts. This rule restricts any single trading day’s profit from exceeding 30% of the total profit during a given trading cycle.

**Important Note: Evaluation accounts have a 50% consistency rule.


What Does This Mean?

  • Profit Cap Per Day: In any trading cycle, no single day’s profit may account for more than 30% of the total profits earned during that cycle. For example, if your total profit over a trading cycle is $10,000, no more than $3,000 can be made in a single trading day.

  • Definition of a Trading Cycle:

    • A trading cycle is defined as the time passed since your last payout request.

    • If you have not made a payout request yet, the trading cycle begins on your first trading day of the account.


Why This Rule Exists:

  • Promoting Consistency: The rule encourages traders to follow consistent and disciplined strategies rather than relying on a few high-risk trades that generate significant profits. This promotes long-term success and stable growth.

  • Risk Management: By capping single-day profits, we prevent traders from making erratic, high-risk trades that can lead to large gains or losses. Consistency over time is key to responsible trading.


What Happens If You Violate the 30% Consistency Rule?

  • Continue trading until the largest trading day is less than 30% of profits.
