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, so your account is never closed for failing it.
The rule
Your single best trading day cannot make up too large a share of your total profit at the moment you request a payout. The threshold depends on your evaluation type.
- Signature: your best day must not exceed 50% of total profit
- Booster: your best day must be under 40% of total profit
Booster is the stricter of the two, and note the wording differs. Signature allows exactly 50%. Booster requires you to be below 40%, so 40% itself does not pass.
Worked examples
On $1,000 total profit with a best day of $400, that is 40%. It passes on Signature. On Booster it does not, because 40% is not under 40%.
On $2,000 total profit with a best day of $900, that is 45%. Passes on Signature, fails on Booster.
On $2,000 total profit with a best day of $1,100, that is 55%. Fails on both.
If you do not meet it
The payout request is blocked until the ratio comes back under the threshold. Your account stays open, you keep trading, and nothing is lost.
The ratio falls on its own as your total profit grows. With a best day of $600 against $1,000 total, you are at 60%. Add another $400 of profit and your total is $1,400, putting you at 42.8% and eligible on Signature.
Why it exists
A single outsized day, from an unusually large position or a one-off market event, is not reliable evidence of an edge. The rule ensures payouts reflect performance sustained over time rather than one lucky session.
FAQ
Does the consistency rule apply during the evaluation? No. There is no consistency rule on an evaluation, on either Signature or Booster. A single day can account for all of your profit and you still pass.
What is the threshold on Booster? Under 40% of total profit, compared with 50% on Signature. Booster is stricter.
Does failing the consistency rule breach my account? No. It only blocks the payout request. Your account stays open and you continue trading normally.
Is it checked automatically? Yes, at the time of every payout request. You do not need to calculate it yourself.
Does the rule reset after each payout? Yes. Once a payout is processed the profit counter resets for the new cycle and the ratio is measured fresh from that point.
What counts as a trading day for this rule? Your best calendar day by net realized profit, combining all trades closed on that UTC day. It does not have to be a qualifying trading day to count toward the consistency calculation.
How do I get back under the threshold? Keep trading profitably. As total profit grows, your best day becomes a smaller share of it and the ratio falls on its own.
Can I avoid the rule by spreading trades across days? Spreading trades across days lowers the ratio naturally, and that is exactly the behaviour the rule is designed to reward.
