Consistency Rule

One-Day Pass & Consistency Rule (Evaluation)
You are allowed to pass the evaluation in one trading day; however, you must still comply with the consistency rule, which limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trade. This rule ensures traders demonstrate consistent performance rather than relying on one oversized trade.

  • On a $50,000 evaluation account (30% consistency rule): No single trade may account for more than 30% of your total profits

  • For example: if one trade generates $1,200, this does not fail the account it is a soft breach
    • A soft breach means the trade is too large relative to your total profits at that moment
    • To become compliant, you must continue trading and increase your total profits
    • $1,200 ÷ 0.30 = $4,000 total profit required
    • Once total profits reach $4,000, the $1,200 trade equals 30% and becomes compliant

    Important: On funded accounts, the consistency rule is applied daily, not per trade. This means that on a $50,000 funded account, you may not make more than $900 in profit per day, regardless of how many trades you take.
