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 (40% consistency rule): No single trade may account for more than 40% of your total profits.

  • For example: if one trade generates $1,600, 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.

  • $1,600 ÷ 0.40 = $4,000 total profit required.

  • Once total profits reach $4,000, the $1,600 trade equals 40% and becomes compliant.

On funded accounts, the consistency rule is the same as the Evaluation.
