Overview
The Zero Plan uses a 20% consistency rule for payout eligibility.
This rule applies only when requesting a payout.
It does not affect passing the evaluation phase.
The purpose of the rule is to promote steady and sustainable trading behavior.
How It Works
Your largest profitable trading day cannot exceed 20% of your total profit at the time of payout.
If it does, you must continue trading until your profit distribution becomes compliant.
Formula
Largest Winning Day ÷ Total Profit ≤ 20%
Example 1 – Not Consistent
Total Profit: $5,000
Largest Winning Day: $2,000
$2,000 ÷ $5,000 = 40% ❌
This exceeds 20%, so the account is not eligible for payout yet.
Example 2 – Consistent
Total Profit: $5,000
Largest Winning Day: $900
$900 ÷ $5,000 = 18% ✅
This meets the 20% rule and is eligible for payout (assuming all other conditions are met).
Important Notes
The rule applies only to profitable days
It is calculated at the time of payout request
Loss days do not count toward the calculation
The rule does not cap profits — it regulates distribution
