The consistency rule is one of the most overlooked — and most punishing — rules in prop trading. Many traders pass their evaluation only to fail their funded account due to a consistency violation they didn't know existed.
What Is a Consistency Rule?
A consistency rule limits how much of your profit can come from a single trading day. For example, a "30% consistency rule" means no single day can account for more than 30% of your total profits during the evaluation phase. This is designed to prevent traders from getting lucky on one big trade and gaming the system.
