What is the Daily Consistency Rule?
No single day can make up 30% or more of your total profit. This rewards steady trading over one big day.
If your consistency is 30% or higher, your account is not breached. You just keep trading until it comes down.
How to Calculate
Consistency = Best day ÷ Total profit
A day's profit is the net result of all trades you closed that day. A losing day is a negative number.
Best day is your single most profitable day.
Total profit is your net profit across all days, so losing days reduce it.
Quick tip: Divide your best day by 0.30 to find the total profit you need to beat. If your best day is $1,700, your total profit needs to be more than $5,666.67 ($1,700 ÷ 0.30).
Worked Example: $50,000 Evaluation
Your profit target is $5,000. After 10 trading days:
Day | Profit/loss |
1 | +$450 |
2 | +$500 |
3 | +$700 |
4 | −$300 |
5 | +$620 |
6 | +$1,700 |
7 | +$180 |
8 | +$350 |
9 | +$400 |
10 | +$500 |
Total | $5,100 |
Consistency = $1,700 ÷ $5,100 = 33.3%
You've passed the profit target and have more than 4 trading days, but your consistency is 30% or higher. You haven't failed. You keep trading.
Notice the losing day: without Day 4, your total would be $5,400 and your consistency 31.5%. Losing days lower your total profit, which raises your consistency.
You trade two more days of +$300 and +$400. Your total profit is now $5,800.
Consistency = $1,700 ÷ $5,800 = 29.3%
Your consistency is now below 30%, so you've met all three requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
My consistency is 30% or higher. Will my account be breached?
No. Keep trading to bring it down. Consistency only decides when you can pass or request a payout.
Can a losing day break the rule?
No. But losing days reduce your total profit, which makes your best day a bigger share of it. Track your running total alongside your best day.
Does consistency apply on my Performance Account too?
Yes. You need daily consistency below 30% to request a payout.
Does my consistency reset after a payout?
Yes. On the Advanced Options Plan, your consistency and trading days start fresh after each payout. This is different from the Basic Options Plan.
