The 40% Consistency Rule applies to funded accounts only. It is a payout requirement. There is no consistency rule in the evaluation — you can pass in a single trading day.
The Rule
To request a payout, your best single trading day cannot be more than 40% of your total net profit over the period since your last payout (or since funding, for your first payout).
Best day ÷ total net profit ≤ 40%
Example — $50K Funded Account
Total net profit since last payout: $3,000
Best day: $1,500 = 50% → not yet eligible
Keep trading until total profit is at least $3,750 (so $1,500 is 40%), or spread profits more evenly
Passing Example
Day 1: +$600 · Day 2: +$800 · Day 3: +$500 · Day 4: +$700 · Day 5: +$400
Total: $3,000 → best day $800 = 26.7% → passes
In the Evaluation
No consistency rule. Hit the profit target without touching the Maximum Loss Limit and you pass — even if it all happens in one day.
Why This Rule Exists
It rewards repeatable, consistent trading in funded accounts rather than one oversized day.
