How the consistency rule is calculated

Take your biggest green day and divide it by your total profit. If the result is at or under your firm's cap, you're good. If it's over, you can't pass the eval or take a payout until your other days bring that share back down.

Biggest Day ÷ Total Profit = Consistency %

Worked example

Five sessions on a 50K eval: +$350, +$300, -$200, +$300 and +$500. Net profit is $1,250 and the biggest day is $500.

Each day's share of $1,250 net profit
DayP&LShare of net
Day 1$35028.0%
Day 2$30024.0%
Day 3-$200-16.0%
Day 4$30024.0%
Day 5$50040.0%

$500 ÷ $1,250 = 40%. That passes a 40%, 45% or 50% cap and fails anything tighter. To pass a 25% cap you'd need $2,000 total profit - $750 more, without beating that $500 day. Leave out the red day and the same account shows 34.5%, so check how your firm counts it.

Consistency rules by prop firm

Every futures prop firm sets its own cap, and it often changes between the eval and the funded account. Most sit between 20% and 50%, and a lot of firms drop the rule once you're funded.

Consistency rule FAQ

How is the prop firm consistency rule calculated?

Divide your biggest trading day by your total profit. If the result is at or under your firm's cap, usually 20% to 50%, you meet the rule. Formula: Biggest Day ÷ Total Profit = Consistency %. A $500 biggest day on $1,250 profit is 40% - that passes a 40% cap but fails a 35% cap.

How much more profit do I need to pass the consistency rule?

Divide your biggest day by the cap, then subtract the profit you already have. With a $500 biggest day and a 25% cap you need $2,000 total profit - at $1,250 that's $750 more, made on days smaller than $500. The calculator shows the number for every cap from 20% to 50%.

Do losing days count toward the consistency rule?

At most futures prop firms, yes. The rule runs on net profit, so a red day cuts your total and pushes your biggest day's share up. The calculator counts red days by default - switch it off if your firm only counts green days.

What consistency rule does my prop firm use?

It depends on the firm and the account. Apex runs a 50% cap on funded accounts only, Lucid Pro uses 40% funded, Lucid Flex uses 50% in the eval only, Tradeify Growth uses 35% funded, MFFU (My Funded Futures) Builder uses 50% funded, and TradeDay uses 30% in the eval with no rule once funded. The full breakdown covers 11 firms and 28 plans.

What happens if I fail the consistency rule?

At almost every firm it's a soft breach, not a blown account. You just can't pass the eval or request a payout until you make more on other days and bring your biggest day back under the cap. You never give back profit you already made.

Does the consistency rule apply to funded accounts?

It depends on the firm. Some run it in the eval only, some only once you're funded, and some in both. Lucid Flex and every TradeDay plan drop it once you're funded.

Why do prop firms have a consistency rule?

To weed out traders who pass on one oversized day. The firm wants to see you make money over several sessions with controlled size, not hit one lucky trade, so the cap forces your profit to come from more than one day.
