The consistency rule applies during the funded stage of the Flex Challenge. It ensures traders reach their profits through steady, repeatable performance rather than one high-risk trading day.
On the Flex Challenge the threshold is 20%, and it is the same for every account size.
Key Concepts
Concept | Details |
Purpose | Encourages results spread across multiple days rather than reliance on one trade or session. |
When It Applies | Only in the funded stage. It remains active even if the account is in drawdown. |
Threshold | 20% for all account sizes. |
Failure if exceeded? | No. You continue trading until the distribution rebalances. |
How It Is Calculated
The consistency ratio is measured using the following formula: Consistency % = (Highest Day Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100
Example (eligible):
Total profit: $5,000
Highest day profit: $850
Consistency = (850 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 17%
Since 17% is below the 20% threshold, the trader is eligible to request a payout.
Exceeding the Threshold
Example (not yet eligible):
Total profit: $5,000
Highest day profit: $1,600
Consistency = (1,600 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 32%
Since 32% exceeds 20%:
You will not fail your account.
You must continue trading until your profit distribution falls back below 20% before requesting a payout.
In this example, growing total profit to $8,000 while keeping the highest day at $1,600 brings consistency to 20% and restores eligibility.
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.
