Consistency Rule for Payouts

How the 35% & 20% rule affects payout eligibility.

Updated over 4 months ago

Summary

The Consistency Rule ensures traders show steady performance before qualifying for payouts. It limits how much of your total profit can come from your biggest trading day.


What Is the Consistency Rule?

The rule measures how much of your profits come from your largest winning day.

  • 35% Rule – Applies to Elite and Growth Plans

  • 20% Rule – Applies to the Funded Plan

If your largest daily profit exceeds the limit, you must keep trading until the ratio is corrected.


How It’s Calculated

Formula: Largest Daily Profit ÷ Total Profits = %

Example:

  • Total profit: $10,000

  • Biggest day: $4,000 → 40% → Fails 35% Rule

  • After earning $1,500 more, total = $11,500 → $4,000 ÷ $11,500 ≈ 34.8% → Passes


Why It Matters

The rule promotes:

  • Consistent, repeatable trading behavior

  • Proper risk management over “one-hit” profits

  • Realistic expectations for sustainable payouts


Plan-Specific Rules

What Happens If You Violate It?

  • Rule resets after each approved payout cycle
