Trading Rules
Consistency Rule
Definition
A rule requiring traders to maintain consistent daily or weekly performance — no single day should account for an excessive share of total profits.
How It Works
Consistency rules prevent traders from relying on one big winning day to pass the challenge. The most common form limits any single day's profit to 30-40% of total profits.
For example, if you need $10K to pass, no single day should contribute more than $3K-$4K. This forces traders to demonstrate repeatable, sustainable performance.
Consistency rules are controversial — some traders see them as unfair, while firms argue they filter out lucky gamblers. Not all firms enforce consistency rules, so check the fine print if this matters to your strategy.
