What is the Consistency Rule?
The Consistency Rule mandates that your most profitable trading day should not exceed a specific percentage of your total profits during the evaluation phase. This percentage varies based on the challenge type:
- Regular and Swing Challenges: Best trading day must be ≤ 45% of total profits.
- One Phase Challenges: Best trading day must be ≤ 15% of total profits.
This rule applies during all phases of the evaluation but not to live funded accounts.
Why have the Consistency Rule?
The rule is designed to promote disciplined trading and risk management. By ensuring profits are generated consistently over time, FunderPro identifies traders who can manage risk effectively and avoid over-reliance on high-risk trades.
How is the Consistency Score Calculated?
FunderPro calculates a Consistency Score by comparing your best trading day’s profit to your total profits. If your best day exceeds the allowed percentage, you must continue trading to dilute that day’s impact and bring the percentage below the threshold.
Example Scenario ✍️
Suppose you’re in a Regular Challenge with a profit target of $2,000. Your best trading day yields $1,000, which is 50% of your total profits—exceeding the 45% limit. To comply, you’d need to continue trading and increase your total profits so that the $1,000 becomes ≤ 45% of the new total.
Key Takeaways
- The Consistency Rule ensures traders demonstrate steady performance.
- It applies during evaluation phases, not live funded accounts.
- Exceeding the limit requires additional trading to meet the rule.
