The consistency rule applies to funded accounts only — it does not exist during the evaluation. It is a payout eligibility condition, not a breach condition. Your account is never closed for failing it.
The rule is simple: your single best trading day cannot exceed 50% of your total profit at the time you request a payout.
How it works
At the moment you request a payout, the system checks your trading history. If your best single day accounts for more than 50% of your total profit, the payout request is blocked until the ratio comes back below 50% through further trading.
Your account stays open. You keep trading. Nothing is lost.
Example — rule met:
| Total profit | Best single day | Ratio | Payout eligible? |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $400 | 40% | Yes |
| $2,000 | $900 | 45% | Yes |
| $1,500 | $700 | 46.6% | Yes |
Example — rule not met:
| Total profit | Best single day | Ratio | Payout eligible? |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $600 | 60% | No |
| $2,000 | $1,100 | 55% | No |
How to get back below 50%
If the rule is not met, keep trading profitable days. As your total profit grows, the ratio of your best day to your total naturally decreases.
For example: best day is $600, total profit is $1,000 — ratio is 60%. Trade another $400 in profit and your total becomes $1,400 — ratio drops to 42.8% and the payout is now eligible.
Why this rule exists
The consistency rule protects against flukes. A single outsized day — from an unusually large position or a one-off market event — is not a reliable signal of a trader's edge. CoinProp funds consistent traders, not one-day outliers. This rule ensures payouts reflect sustainable performance over time.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the consistency rule apply during the evaluation? No. There is no consistency rule during the evaluation. It applies to funded accounts only.
- Does failing the consistency rule breach my account? No. Failing the consistency rule only blocks your payout request. Your account stays open and you continue trading normally.
- Is the consistency rule checked automatically? Yes. The system checks it automatically at the time of every payout request. You do not need to calculate it manually.
- Does the rule reset after each payout? Yes. After a payout is processed, the profit counter resets for the new cycle and the consistency rule is measured fresh from that point.
- What counts as a "trading day" for the consistency rule? Your best calendar day by net profit — all closed trades on that UTC day combined. It does not need to be a qualifying trading day to count toward the consistency calculation.
- Can I avoid this rule by spreading trades across multiple days? The rule measures your best single day naturally — spreading trades across days organically lowers the ratio. Consistent daily trading is exactly what the rule is designed to reward.
