Summary
The Consistency Rule is designed to ensure that traders demonstrate steady, responsible performance before qualifying for a payout. This rule sets a limit on how much profit a trader can make in a single day relative to their total profits during a payout cycle. MegaTrader applies two tiers: 35% and 20%, depending on your plan.
What Is the Consistency Rule?
The rule measures how much of your total profit comes from your largest winning day. To qualify for a payout, no single day’s profit should exceed the allowed percentage:
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 continue trading to bring your distribution back into compliance.
How It’s Calculated
To check if you meet the rule:
Largest Daily Profit ÷ Total Profits = %
Then compare that percentage to your plan’s limit.
Example:
Total profit: $10,000
Biggest day: $4,000 → 40% of total → Fails 35% Rule
Continue trading until $4,000 is less than or equal to 35% of the total
If the next day earns $1,500, the total becomes $11,500 → $4,000 is now ~34.8% → Passes
Why It Matters
This rule promotes:
Consistent, repeatable trading behavior
Risk management over “one-hit” profits
Realistic performance expectations for sustainable trading
It ensures traders qualify for payouts based on discipline and stability—not isolated spikes.
Plan-Specific Rules
Plan Type | Max Daily Profit % |
Elite Plan | 35% |
Growth Plan | 35% |
Funded Plan | 20% |
What Happens If You Violate It?
If your biggest trading day exceeds the allowed percentage:
You will not be eligible for a payout until the imbalance is corrected
You must continue trading to reduce the disproportionate gain
The consistency rule resets after each approved payout cycle
