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.
Importantly, the consistency threshold is based on the account size.
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. |
Threshold Basis | The allowed consistency percentage varies depending on the account size. |
Account Size Consistency Thresholds
The maximum allowed consistency percentage depends on your funded account size:
Account Size | Maximum Consistency |
$50K and below | 40% |
$100K | 30% |
$200K | 25% |
$300K | 20% |
This means your highest single trading day cannot exceed the percentage shown above relative to your total profit.
How It’s Calculated (Example using 50K account)
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 (Example using 50K account)
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 | Based on Account Size |
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.
