Consistency Rule
20% Consistency Rule
Our Consistency Rule is set at 20%, which effectively evaluates trading performance across a minimum of five profitable trading days, as 5 × 20% = 100%.
To be eligible for a payout, traders must maintain a consistency level of 20% or below.
The consistency level is calculated by dividing the profit from the trader’s highest-profit day by their total profit during the evaluation period or payout cycle.
Formula:
Consistency Level = (Highest Profit Day ÷ Total Profit) × 100
Requirements:
No single trading day may account for more than 20% of the trader’s total profits.
Example:
- Total Profit: $5,000
- Highest Profit Day: $1,000
Consistency Level = ($1,000 ÷ $5,000) × 100 = 20%
In this example, the trader meets the consistency requirement.
If a trader’s highest-profit day exceeds 20% of their total profits, they will not be eligible for a payout at that time. The trader may continue trading until their overall profits increase sufficiently for the consistency level to fall to 20% or below.
This rule is designed to promote disciplined risk management and reward traders who demonstrate consistent profitability rather than relying on a small number of outsized trading days.
Why We Use a Consistency Rule
The purpose of this rule is to encourage responsible risk management and sustainable trading behaviour. Traders who consistently manage risk and generate profits over multiple trading sessions are more likely to demonstrate the skills required for long-term success.
The consistency rule helps to:
- Promote disciplined and repeatable trading performance.
- Discourage excessive risk-taking in pursuit of a single large gain.
- Ensure payouts are based on sustained profitability rather than isolated trading outcomes.
- Create a fair and objective standard for evaluating trading consistency across all accounts.
Important Notes
- Exceeding the 20% consistency threshold is not considered a rule violation.
- Accounts that exceed the threshold remain active and in good standing.
- Traders may continue trading until their total profits increase sufficiently to bring their consistency level to 20% or below.
- The consistency calculation is based on the highest-profit trading day within the relevant payout period.
By maintaining a consistency level of 20% or below, traders demonstrate the ability to achieve profits through a structured and professional trading approach, which is a key requirement for payout eligibility.
