Risk Governance

Consistency Rules

Rule Enforced

Consistency rules prevent passing evaluations on a single lucky oversized trade. When enforced, your most profitable trading day cannot exceed a set percentage of your total accumulated profit.

Standard Calculation Model

Consistency % = (Best Trading Day Profit / Total Profit Generated) × 100

This firm enforces a consistency rule (30% - 40% cap). If your single best day exceeds this cap, you must trade additional days until the ratio balances below the limit before requesting a payout.

Verified consistency requirements:

Evaluation consistency rule applies: Verified
