The 50% consistency rule means no single trading day can make up more than 50% of your total profit. This applies when you're passing the evaluation and during each payout cycle.
How does the consistency rule work?
Your most profitable trading day cannot account for more than 50% of your total profit.
For example, if you have made $100 in total profit, no single trading day can contribute more than $50 of that profit.
If one day makes up more than 50% of your total profit, you simply need to make more profit on other trading days until that day represents 50% or less of your total profit.
This is not a breach. Nothing you've already earned is lost, and you can continue trading until the consistency requirement is met.
Does the consistency rule apply when passing the evaluation?
Yes.
To pass the evaluation, you need to reach the 8% profit target, complete at least 3 profitable trading days, and meet the 50% consistency rule.
If you reach the 8% target but one trading day makes up more than 50% of your total profit, your pass is simply put on hold.
You can continue trading until you make enough profit on other days to meet the consistency requirement.
Does the consistency rule apply to payouts?
Yes.
The same 50% consistency rule applies to each payout cycle.
If one trading day makes up more than 50% of the profit in your current payout cycle, your payout is put on hold until you make enough profit on other days to meet the requirement.
Once you request a payout, your payout cycle resets and the consistency calculation starts again for the new cycle.
Do losing days count against me?
No.
Days that lost money do not count against you when calculating consistency.
The rule only looks at your profitable trading days and your total profit.
Are individual trades capped?
No.
Individual trades are not capped by the consistency rule. The rule only looks at the profit made during each trading day.
So, if you make multiple trades on the same day, the profit from those trades is counted together as that day's profit.
Is consistency a breach?
No.
The consistency rule is not a breach rule.
If one trading day is more than 50% of your total profit, your pass or payout is simply put on hold. You do not lose your account or any profit you have already made.
Just continue trading and build enough profit on other days until you meet the requirement.
Hope this helps! :)
