What Consistency Rules Mean

Consistency rules are designed to stop one outsized trade from making up most of an account’s profit. They can appear during evaluations, funded stages, or payout requests.

Example

If a firm has a 30% best-day rule, your largest winning day may not be allowed to represent more than 30% of total profit for payout purposes.

Practical impact

  • Large runners may delay payouts.
  • Small steady days can help satisfy the rule.
  • Overtrading to “balance” one big win is risky.
