Consistency Rule Calculator
Consistency = your best day (or trade) profit ÷ total profit. Prop firms cap it somewhere between 20% and 55%. See whether you pass and how much more profit you need to get under the limit.

FAQs — Consistency Rule
How consistency rules work and how to stay inside them without changing your edge.
How do you calculate a consistency rule?
Divide your largest single-day profit by your total profit for the period the firm measures, then compare the result to the firm's limit. A $1,500 best day on $4,000 of total profit is 37.5%, which passes a 40% rule and fails a 35% one. To find the total you need, divide your best day by the limit: $1,500 ÷ 0.35 = $4,286.
What is the consistency rule in prop trading?
The consistency rule limits how much of your total profit can come from a single day or trade. A 40% rule means no single day can account for more than 40% of the profit you are being assessed on. It stops an account from being passed, or paid out, on the strength of one outsized day.
Which prop firms have a consistency rule?
Most futures prop firms have one, and the number depends on the account and the stage. Some apply it to passing the evaluation, others only to requesting a payout from a funded account, and several reset it after each payout. Pick a firm preset above to load a published rule, then confirm it on the firm's own help centre before you rely on it.
What is the Topstep consistency rule?
As published on Topstep's help centre in September 2026: in the Trading Combine your best day must be at or below 55% of total profit to pass, and in an Express Funded Account your largest day must be 40% or less of total net profit to be payout eligible. Check Topstep's help centre for the current rule.
What is the Tradeify consistency rule?
As published on Tradeify's help centre in September 2026: 35% for Growth Sim Funded payouts, 40% during Select evaluations (none once Select is funded), and on Lightning Funded accounts 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third. It gates payouts only and resets after each approved payout.
What are the Lucid Trading, Take Profit Trader and My Funded Futures consistency rules?
As published on each firm's help centre in September 2026: Lucid Trading requires 40% or less on LucidPro funded accounts to request a payout (reset after each payout) and 50% or less to pass a LucidFlex evaluation. Take Profit Trader requires your best day to be below 50% of net profit to pass the Test. My Funded Futures applies 50% during Rapid and Pro evaluations. Rules change, so confirm on the firm's own site.
What happens if I breach the consistency rule?
At most firms a consistency breach is not a rule violation that closes the account the way a drawdown breach does. It delays things: the evaluation does not pass, or the payout cannot be requested, until enough profit on other days brings the best day back under the limit. Read your firm's rules for the exact consequence.
How do I fix a consistency rule violation?
Keep trading smaller profitable days. Each one grows total profit without raising your best day, so the percentage falls. Losing days work against you, because they shrink total profit and push the percentage up. This calculator shows exactly how much more total profit you need, and the largest day you can take without making it worse.
