Consistency Rule Overview (Funded Accounts)

In our funded accounts, we have a 40% consistency rule to ensure that trading gains are distributed fairly over time, promoting sustainable trading practices and risk management.

What This Means

Unlike the challenge phase (where there are no consistency rules), in funded accounts, traders must make sure that no single trading day exceeds 40% of the account’s total gains to qualify for a payout. The rule applies only to realized gains over time.

Example: Following Consistency Rules

Account: $50,000 (Funded Account)
​7-Day Trading Gains:

• Day 1: +$780
• Day 2: +$540
• Day 3: +$1,200
• Day 4: +$850
• Day 5: +$390
• Day 6: +$550
• Day 7: +$870

Total Gains: $5,180
​Account Value: $55,180

To check compliance, calculate 40% of total gains:

• $5,180 x 0.40 = $2,072

Since none of the daily gains exceeded $2,072, the trader met the consistency rule and is eligible for payout.

Example: Not Following Consistency Rules

Account: $50,000 (Funded Account)
​7-Day Trading Gains:

• Day 1: +$780
• Day 2: +$540
• Day 3: +$4,100
• Day 4: +$850
• Day 5: +$390
• Day 6: +$1,200
• Day 7: +$870

Total Gains: $8,730
​Account Value: $58,730

Here, 40% of total gains is:

• $8,730 x 0.40 = $3,492

Since Day 3’s gains of $4,100 exceed $3,492, the consistency rule was breached, disqualifying this trader from cashing out.

What Happens if the Consistency Rule is Broken?

If a trader exceeds the 40% limit on any trading day, their account will not be breached. Instead, the trader simply needs to continue trading until their account meets the 40% consistency rule.

To requalify, the largest daily gain ($4,100) is divided by 0.40 to determine the new minimum gains target:

• $4,100 / 0.40 = $10,250

Then, calculate the difference between this target and total current gains:

• $10,250 - $8,730 = $1,520

The trader must achieve an additional $1,520 in gains, bringing the account to $60,250, to meet the consistency rule and become eligible for withdrawal. This rule prepares traders to maintain disciplined and consistent performance in live markets.
