The consistency rule is one of the most controversial restrictions in prop trading. It limits how much of your total profit can come from a single day (typically 30-50%). For example, if you make $5,000 total and the consistency rule is 40%, no single day can account for more than $2,000. This penalizes traders who have one exceptional day followed by smaller ones. Firms without this rule let you trade naturally — if you catch a major move and make 80% of your profit in one session, that's perfectly fine. This is especially important for news traders, event-driven strategies, and traders who focus on high-probability setups.
No "best day" cap. If you make $10K total profit and $8K came from one day, that's completely acceptable.
News traders, event-driven strategies, and anyone who focuses on a few high-conviction trades rather than daily consistency.
Some firms don't have a consistency rule during evaluation but enforce one on the funded account. Always check the funded stage rules.
Some firms apply consistency only for on-demand payouts but not for regular monthly withdrawals. Check the specific payout policy.
