Consistency Rule

Detailed Explanation

Consistency rules vary by firm but generally require that no single trading day accounts for more than a set percentage (often 30%–40%) of total profits during the evaluation. This rule prevents traders from gambling on one big trade to pass a challenge. Some firms apply consistency rules only during the evaluation, while others maintain them on funded accounts. Traders who rely on high-risk, high-reward strategies should verify whether a firm enforces consistency requirements.
