Understanding the 30% Daily Consistency Rule
What Is the 30% Daily Consistency Rule?
At Vanquish, we prioritize consistent trading behavior over one-time large gains. To promote disciplined and replicable trading performance, we enforce a 30% Daily Consistency Rule during the evaluation (simulation) phase.
This rule ensures that your profits are not heavily concentrated in just one or two trading days, which helps us identify traders with sustainable strategies.
The Rule in Simple Terms
The 30% Daily Consistency Rule means:
No single day’s profit can exceed 30% of your total profit at the end of the evaluation phase.
If it does, your evaluation may be marked as inconsistent, and you will not pass to the funded stage — even if your total profit target is reached.
Example Scenario
Let’s say you have $50,000 with a $5,000 profit target.
You trade for 10 days, and your daily profits are:
Day | Profit |
1 | $350 |
2 | $400 |
3 | $700 |
4 | $620 |
5 | $180 |
6 | $1,700 |
7 | $100 |
8 | $150 |
9 | $400 |
10 | $400 |
Total Profit = $5,000
30% of $5,000 = $1,500
Since Day 6 earned $1,700 — which is more than 30% of the total profit — this account would violate the consistency rule, even though the target was hit. You would need to trade more days to lower your consistency.
Why This Rule Matters
The purpose of the 30% rule is to identify traders who:
Follow a systematic approach
Maintain risk discipline
Avoid over-leveraging
Can potentially sustain profits over the long term
Passing by a lucky one-day spike doesn't give us enough confidence in your ability to manage risk with real capital.
Tips to Stay Within the Rule
Aim for steady gains over the course of your evaluation.
Avoid placing oversized trades just to hit targets faster.
Track your daily profits and calculate 30% thresholds regularly.
Use a trading journal to monitor your consistency.
Final Note
If your evaluation does not pass the consistency rule, you did not fail your account, you will just have to continue to trade to bring your consistency down.
