[Instant] Consistency Rule Explained

The Consistency Rule on the Instant Funded Account is designed to ensure traders demonstrate stable and repeatable performance, rather than relying on a single unusually large profit day.

Updated yesterday

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

  • Total profits are calculated using closed trades only

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

  • Your highest-profit day is then measured as a percentage of total accumulated profits

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

This rule applies at all times, including during payout reviews.


Interaction With the 5% Payout Cap

The Instant Funded Account applies a 5% payout cap on withdrawals (including early payouts).

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 withdrawal, not on excess profits that remain locked in the account due to the payout cap.

This ensures that traders are not penalized under the consistency rule for profits that cannot yet be withdrawn.

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 trading until your total profit increases to at least $800, at which point $120 will represent 15% of your total profit and you will be eligible to request a payout.
