Consistency Rule explained

2 min. readlast update: 10.28.2026

The Consistency Rule limits how much of your profit may come from a single day. It is about days, not individual trades.

📏 How it is measured

Three figures make up the calculation:

  • Best Day Profit — your highest net closed profit in one UTC day
  • Winning Days Profit — the total profit of all your profitable day

❗Current Profit Ratio = Best Day Profit divided by Winning Days Profit

Your Current Profit Ratio has to stay at or below the Cap set for your account.

Example #1: you have 4 profitable days with profits: $400, $300, $200 and $100. It makes your Winning Days Profit $1,000. Your best day is $400, so your ratio is $400 ÷ $1,000 = 40%.

Example #2: suppose the same $1,000 came as $700, $200 and $100. Your best day is $700, your Winning Days Profit are $1,000, so your ratio is 70%.

Losing days do not enter the calculation at all. They are not counted and they are not subtracted, so adding two losing days of $150 to either example changes nothing.

🕒 When it is checked

On an evaluation account, the rule is checked when you reach your profit target. On a funded account, it is checked when you request a payout.

The rule does not close your account. It holds back your phase pass or your payout until your ratio comes back within the cap.

📈 How to bring the ratio down

Through profit on other days, and only that way.

Taking the example #2 above: with a best day of $700 and a ratio of 70%, you need your Winning Days Profit to reach $1,400 for 50% cap, because $700 ÷ $1,400 is 50%. That means another $400 of profit spread across other days.

Trading more on your best day does not help, because both halves of the calculation grow together. Nor does one large new day: it simply becomes your new best day.

🔄 When it resets

On an evaluation account, at the start of each phase. On a funded account, after every payout.

The cap differs by plan and account size. The cap that applies to you, and all three figures above, are shown on the Consistency card in your account dashboard.

The complete set of risk rules that applies to your account is set out in Risk Rules.
