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.
Summary of Rule Settings
Rule | Value/Outcome |
Consistency Threshold | 40% |
Failure if Exceeded? | No |
Action Required | Continue trading until profit distribution rebalances |
This rule ensures fairness, discourages risky strategies, and strengthens trader consistency qualities essential for long-term success.
