The consistency rule is a payout restriction used by most prop firms. It limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day. The idea is to prevent traders from getting funded off one lucky trade or a single news event.
For example, if a firm has a 30% consistency rule and you made $1,000 total profit, your best single day cannot exceed $300. If it does, the firm can reject your payout request even if you hit the profit target and respected all drawdown limits.
Enter your daily P&L for each day you traded. The calculator finds your total net profit and your best single day, then checks whether that day exceeds the rule threshold. It flags the exact day and percentage so you know exactly what to fix.
Most prop firms apply the rule as: best single day profit divided by total net profit. This is the most common interpretation and what this calculator uses. Some firms calculate it differently, so always check your firm’s specific terms.
Rules change frequently. Always verify on the firm’s own website before trading.
Does the consistency rule apply to the evaluation or the funded account?
Depends on the firm. Most apply it at payout time on the funded account. Some also check it during the evaluation phase. FundedNext applies it to Stellar funded accounts when you submit a payout request.
What happens if I fail the consistency rule?
The firm can reject your payout request. In most cases you keep trading and need to add more balanced days so no single day dominates. Once the percentage drops below the threshold, you can request again.
Can I avoid the consistency rule entirely?
Yes. Several prop firms have no consistency rule at all. FXIFY, Funding Pips, and PipFarm are well-known examples. If you trade with high variance, choosing a firm without the rule removes that risk entirely.
Does the rule apply to losing days?
No. Only your winning days matter for the consistency check. Losing days reduce your total net profit, which can actually make the rule harder to pass if you had one very large winning day early on.
