What is the 50% consistency rule?

Written by CoinProp Team

The Consistency Rule is a strategic measure designed to ensure that traders achieve profits through consistent performance, rather than relying on a few isolated, large, and potentially high-risk trades. This rule actively promotes the development of sustainable trading habits and is instrumental in helping the firm identify truly skilled traders capable of generating long-term, stable profitability.

How it works :

Let’s say you earn $1,000 total profit in your trading challenge.

On your best day, you made $700 in one big trade.
But on the other days, you only made small amounts, like $50 or $100.

Now the firm will check:

Did this trader make more than half of their total profit in just one day?

In your case, yes! You made $700 out of $1,000 in one day. That’s more than 50%, so it breaks the rule ❌.

But what does passing look like?

Let’s say you made:

Day 1: $300

Day 2: $200

Day 3: $250

Day 4: $150

Day 5: $100

Total = $1,000
Your biggest day is $300, and that’s only 30% of the total.

That’s consistent! You followed the 50% rule ✅

❌ Trader A – Breaks the 50% Consistency Rule

Day 1: $600 profit

Day 2: $400 profit

Total: $1,000

The biggest day is $600, which is 60% of the total, oops, that’s still over 50%! ❌

Let’s fix it...



✅ Trader B – Passes the Rule Correctly

Day 1: $500

Day 2: $500

Total: $1,000

👉 Each day is 50%, that’s the limit!
✅ This trader follows the rule perfectly.

Q: What happens if I fail the Consistency Rule?

 Your payout will be postponed until your trade history meets the Consistency Rule.

Your CoinProp account stays active (if other rules are respected).

Once your history shows appropriate profit distribution, your payout will be approved.
