Profit Consistency Calculator

What is the consistency rule in prop trading?

The consistency rule limits how much of your total profits can come from a single day or trade. For example, a 30% consistency rule means no single day can account for more than 30% of your overall profits. This prevents traders from passing challenges through one lucky trade and encourages sustainable, repeatable performance.

Which prop firms have a consistency rule?

FTMO enforces a 30% consistency rule on some accounts, FundedNext uses 30%, and several others have similar restrictions between 20% and 50%. Not all firms use it - check each firm's rules page on our comparison site for the exact details before you trade.

What happens if I breach the consistency rule?

Breaching the consistency rule does not always terminate your account immediately like a drawdown breach does. In some cases, it prevents you from requesting a payout until your trading becomes more consistent. In other cases, it can disqualify a challenge attempt entirely. Always read your specific firm's rules.

How do I fix a consistency rule violation?

To reduce your consistency percentage, you need to generate more profit on other days to dilute the proportion of your best day. This calculator shows you exactly how much additional profit you need to earn on other days to bring your best day percentage back under the firm's limit.
