Consistency Rule

Consistency Rule on Evaluation and Qualified Accounts

B
Written by Benjamin Chaffee

Evaluations

The Consistency Rule on Advanced Evaluations is 40%. This means that during your Evaluation, profits from one single trading day cannot be larger than 40% of your net profits made.

The Consistency Rule on Standard Evaluations is 50%. This means that during your Evaluation, profits from one single trading day cannot be larger than 50% of your net profits made

You will not pass your Evaluation until this rule is satisfied.
​
While we don't recommend trying to pass your Evaluation as fast as possible. Below are the suggested largest/best days to satisfy the consistency rule as efficiently as possible on Advanced and Standard Accounts.

Qualified Accounts

There is a 40% Consistency Rule on Zero and Standard Qualified Accounts.

The 40% Consistency Rule states during the Qualified stage, profits from any single trading day cannot be greater than or equal to 40% of net profits accumulated since last withdrawal request.

You will not be eligible for a withdrawal if any of your trading day profits are greater than 40% of net profits made since last withdrawal request. This value will always be visible in your dashboard, and your withdrawal request button/feature will not be available until this rule is satisfied.
​
This rule resets in between each account withdrawal request.

If you make more than 40% in a single day, your account will NOT be breached, but you will need to continue to trade and make more profit until the rule is satisfied.

The equation is as follows: biggest day/total net profit (since last request) = 40%
​

There is a 20% Consistency Rule on Direct Qualified Accounts.

The 20% Consistency Rule states profits from any single trading day cannot be greater than or equal to 20% of net profits accumulated since last withdrawal request.

You will not be eligible for a withdrawal if any of your trading day profits are greater than 20% of net profits made since last withdrawal request. This value will always be visible in your dashboard, and your withdrawal request button/feature will not be available until this rule is satisfied.
​
This rule resets in between each account withdrawal request.

If you make more than 20% in a single day, your account will NOT be breached, but you will need to continue to trade and make more profit until the rule is satisfied.

The equation is as follows: biggest day/total net profit (since last request) = 20%
