Our direct-to-funding model includes a 20% consistency rule to ensure balanced trading performance and disciplined risk management. This rule applies to all account types: $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 and is measured over a 7-day profit period.

Consistency Rule Details

To qualify for payouts:

• No single trading day can contribute more than 20% of total realized profits during the 7-day profit period.
• Traders must achieve the following profit thresholds within 7 days to request a payout:
  • $50,000 Account: $3,000
  • $100,000 Account: $6,000
  • $150,000 Account: $9,000

Example 1: 

✅ Consistency Rule Refresher

Traders must not exceed 20% of the payout threshold on any one day during the profit period.
For a $100,000 account, the payout threshold is $6,000, so the daily limit is:

$6,000 × 0.20 = $1,200

🔍 Example 1: Recalculated (Fails)

Account Size: $100,000
Profit Period: 7 Days
Daily Profits:

• Day 1: $1,000

• Day 2: $900

• Day 3: $1,300 ❌

• Day 4: $1,200 ✅

• Day 5: $800

• Day 6: $500

• Day 7: $400

Total Profits:
$1,000 + $900 + $1,300 + $1,200 + $800 + $500 + $400 = $6,100

❌ Consistency Check

We now check if any day exceeds $1,200:

• Day 3 = $1,300 → ❌ Violation

• Day 4 = $1,200 → ✅ OK

• All other days are also ✅ OK

❌ Conclusion

The trader fails the consistency rule because Day 3’s profit exceeds 20% of the $6,000 payout threshold.
They are ineligible for payout at this time.

❌ Example 2: Failing the Consistency Rule

Account Size: $50,000
Payout Threshold: $3,000
Profit Period: 7 Days

20% of Payout Threshold:
$3,000 × 0.20 = $600

Daily Profits:

• Day 1: $500

• Day 2: $700 ❌

• Day 3: $600

• Day 4: $2,000 ❌

• Day 5: $300

• Day 6: $200

• Day 7: $400

Total Profits:
$500 + $700 + $600 + $2,000 + $300 + $200 + $400 = $4,700

❌ Consistency Check

Check for days that exceed $600:

• Day 2 = $700 → ❌ Violation

• Day 4 = $2,000 → ❌ Violation

• All other days are ✅ OK

❌ Conclusion

The trader fails the consistency rule because multiple days (Day 2 and Day 4) exceed the 20% limit of $600, which is based on the $3,000 payout threshold for the $50k account.
They are temporarily ineligible for a payout.

Regaining Eligibility After a Consistency Breach

If the rule is breached, traders must continue trading until profits realign with the 20% consistency rule.

To determine the adjusted profit target, divide the highest profit day by 0.20:

\frac{2,000}{0.20} = **$10,000**

To realign with consistency, the trader must generate additional profits to reach $10,000:

10,000 - 4,700 = **$5,300 more needed**

Once the trader meets this new target without exceeding 20% per day, they regain payout eligibility.

Final Notes

• Spreading profits evenly over 7 days is the best way to ensure compliance.
• Avoiding large, single-day profits helps traders maintain eligibility for payouts.
