  No. The consistency percentage is not calculated based on your account size or account balance. It is calculated based on your profits.
- For example, if you have a $100K account, the 40% rule does not mean you are capped at making 40% of the account size ($40,000) in a single day
- It means your best trading day cannot represent more than 40% of the total profits you are trying to withdraw or use for scale-up eligibility.
+ For example, if you have a $100K account, the 50% rule does not mean you are capped at making 50% of the account size ($50,000) in a single day.

updatedPremierThe5ers · How is the Consistency Rule Calculated?2026-08-10 · +12 / -17 lines

Read the live article

- The basic formula is:
- (Best trading day ÷ Total profits) × 100 = Consistency percentage
- To meet the rule, your best trading day must be equal to or lower than the allowed percentage.
- For example, if your account has a 50% Consistency Rule, your best trading day must not be more than 50% of your total profits.
- Example based on the 50% Consistency Rule
- - Best trading day: $1,500
- - Consistency limit: 50%
- - Required total profit:
- - $1,500 ÷ 50% = $3,000
- This means that if your best trading day is $1,500, your total profit must be at least $3,000 for that day to represent 50% or less of your total profits.
- If your total profit is only $1,500 and all of it came from one day, you are not eligible yet. You would need to continue trading and increase your total profits.
- Example based on the 30% Consistency Rule
- - Best trading day: $1,500
- - Consistency limit: 30%
- - Required total profit:
- - $1,500 ÷ 30% = $5,000
- This means that if your best trading day is $1,500, your total profit must be at least $5,000 for that day to represent 30% or less of your total profits.
+ The Consistency Rule ensures trading performance is spread out over time rather than relying on a single trade. It is calculated using your total profits, not your account size:
+ Consistency Percentage Formula: (Best Trading Day Profit ÷ Total Profits) × 100 = Consistency Percentage
+ To qualify for a payout or scale-up, your best trading day must account for 40% or less of your total profit.
+ How to Calculate Your Required Total Profit: Best Trading Day Profit ÷ 0.40 = Required Total Profit
+ Example (40% Consistency Rule):
+ -
+ Best Trading Day: $1,500
+ -
+ Calculation: $1,500 ÷ 0.40 = $3,750
+ -
+ Requirement: Your total account profit must be at least $3,750.
+ If your total profit is currently $2,000, your best day ($1,500) represents 75% of your gains. You are not penalized—you simply need to continue trading to build your total profit until your best day accounts for 40% or less of the total.

- Your account does not fail.
- It simply means you are not eligible for a payout or scale-up yet. You need to continue trading and increase your total profits until your best trading day becomes equal to or lower than the allowed consistency percentage.
- Example based on the 50% rule:
- - Best trading day: $2,000
- - Current total profit: $2,900
- - Calculation: $2,000 ÷ $2,900 × 100 = 68.96%
- Since 68.96% is higher than 50%, the trader does not meet the rule yet.
- Required total profit: $2,000 ÷ 50% = $4,000
- So, the trader needs to increase total profits to at least $4,000 for the best trading day to represent 50% or less.
- What happens after I make more profit?
+ Your account does not fail or get breached.
+ It simply means you are not eligible for a payout or scale-up yet. You just need to continue trading and accumulate total profits until your best trading day represents 40% or less of your overall profits.
+ Example (40% Consistency Rule):
+ -
+ Best trading day: $2,000
+ -
+ Current total profit: $2,900
+ -
+ Current calculation: ($2,000 ÷ $2,900) × 100 = 68.96%
+ Since 68.96% is higher than 40%, the trader is not eligible yet.
+ Calculating the Required Profit:
+ -
+ Formula: Best Trading Day ÷ 0.40 = Required Total Profit
+ -
+ Calculation: $2,000 ÷ 0.40 = $5,000
+ The trader needs to reach at least $5,000 in total profits for their $2,000 best day to meet the 40% threshold.
+ What happens after making more profit?
  Using the same example:
- - Best trading day: $2,000
- - Current total profit: $2,900
- - The trader then makes another $1,100 in accumulated profitable trades.
- - New total profit: $2,900 + $1,100 = $4,000
- - New calculation: $2,000 ÷ $4,000 × 100 = 50%
- Now the trader meets the 50% Consistency Rule.
+ -
+ Best trading day: $2,000
+ -
+ Current total profit: $2,900
+ -
+ Additional profit made: $2,100 across subsequent trades
+ -
+ New total profit: $2,900 + $2,100 = $5,000
+ New calculation: ($2,000 ÷ $5,000) × 100 = 40%
+ Now the best trading day represents exactly 40% of total profits, making the account fully eligible.
