[Instant] Consistency Rule Explained

The Consistency Rule within the Instant Program is designed to ensure that participants demonstrate stable and repeatable performance, rather than relying on a single unusually large profit day.

Updated this week

The consistency limit is set at 15%.

This means that no single trading day may account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profits on the account.


How the Consistency Rule Works

The consistency rule is calculated based on unrealised profit, since itโ€™s equity-based โ€” not on realised profit. This means your open positions are included when measuring consistency.

Even if your account is in loss, the Consistency Rule still counts towards your highest profit day.

  • All profitable trades within the same calendar day are combined into a single daily result

  • If one day exceeds 15%, the consistency rule is violated

This rule applies at all times, including during rewards request reviews.


Interaction With the 5% Reward Cap

The Instant Funded Account applies a 5% reward cap on your first 2 rewards requests.

Any profit above the 5% cap:

  • Remains in the trading account

  • Does not count toward the consistency calculation

  • Does not increase the size of your highest-profit day for consistency purposes

Consistency is calculated only on the portion of profits that are eligible for rewards, not on excess profits that remain locked in the account due to the rewards cap.

This ensures that participants are not disadvantaged under the consistency rule by simulated profits that are not yet eligible for reward requests.

Example:

You have made a total profit of $500, and your most profitable trading day is $120. Since $120 represents 24% of your total profit, the consistency requirement is not yet met. This is not a rule violation.

You may continue simulated trading until total simulated profit reaches at least $800, at which point $120 represents 15% of total profit and the consistency requirement would be met, making you eligible to submit a reward request, subject to all other program rules.
