Consistency Rule Explained – Pro Challenge

Understand how the consistency rule is applied in the funded stage of the Pro Challenge and why it is important.

Updated this week

The consistency rule is a safeguard that applies during the funded stage of the Pro Challenge. It ensures traders achieve profits through steady, sustainable performance rather than relying on a single high-risk trading day. This promotes discipline and helps create results that can be repeated over time.


Key Concepts

Concept

Details

Purpose

Encourages steady trading results across multiple days, avoiding over-reliance on one trade or session.

When It Applies

Only applies in the funded stage. It remains active even if the account is in drawdown.


How It’s Calculated

The consistency ratio is measured using the following formula:

Consistency % = (Highest Day Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100

Example:

  • Total Profit: $1,000

  • Highest Day Profit: $350

  • Consistency = (350 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 35%

Since 35% is below the 40% threshold, the trader is eligible to request a payout.


Exceeding the Threshold

If your highest day’s profit makes up more than 40% of your total profits:

  • You will not fail your account.

  • You must continue trading until your profit distribution falls back below 40% before requesting a payout.


In Case of Drawdown

The consistency rule still applies even if the account is in drawdown:

  • Profits are measured from the initial account balance, not the adjusted balance.

  • Recovering from losses does not count as new profits.
