This rule exists because a trader needs to demonstrate skill and discipline, not just a few lucky trades.
2. Profit Consistency (Percentage of Profits Rule)
Section: 2. Profit Consistency (Percentage of Profits Rule)
− To prevent the evaluation from being treated like a lottery ticket, no single trading day may exceed 50% of your total net profits.
− This is based on your net P/L.
+ To prevent the evaluation from being treated like a lottery ticket, your best trading day must be below 50% of your total net profits.
+ This is based on your highest profit day's net P/L.
Use the formula:
Highest profit day / Net P/L = Consistency Percentage
If your consistency percentage is above 50%, you do not meet the consistency rule. However, you have not failed the test account; you simply need to increase your total profit goal to pass the consistency rule.
Updated Profit Goal (Automatic Adjustment)
Section: Updated Profit Goal (Automatic Adjustment)
− Your consistency threshold adjusts automatically based on your net P/L.
+ Your consistency threshold adjusts automatically based on your highest profit day's net P/L.
To determine your updated profit requirement, use:
− Updated Profit Goal = Net P/L × 2
+ Updated Profit Goal > High Profit Day's Net P/L × 2
This updated goal appears directly in your dashboard.
Example
Day 2: +$600
Day 3: +$500
Section: Example
− Net P/L = $3,100
− Consistency percentage:
− $2,000 / $3,100 = 65% (too high)
+ Highest Profit Day's Net P/L = $2,000
+ -
+ Consistency percentage (High Profit Day's Net P/L / total profit): - $2,000 / $3,100 = 65% (too high)
You need to increase your net P/L until your highest day becomes less than 50% of total net profits.
− Updated required profit (Net P/L × 2):
− $3,100 × 2 = $6,200
− $2,000 / $4,001 < 50%
+ -
+ Updated required profit > (High Profit Day's Net P/L × 2):
+ - $2,000 × 2 = $4,000
+ - $2,000 / $4,001 < 50%
+ So in this example, you must make more than $4000 to meet the consistency rule.
This ensures your performance is not dominated by a single trading day.

Before funding traders, Take Profit Trader must ensure they demonstrate consistency.
There are two requirements that determine whether your performance is considered consistent.
1. Minimum Number of Trading Days
To show that you can make money and manage risk, you must trade for a minimum of 5 trading days.
A trading day is defined as any day in which you place at least one trade.
You may take as long as you want to complete the test, but you must meet the 5-day minimum.
If you reach your profit target in only 2 days, you still need 3 additional active trading days.

2. Profit Consistency (Percentage of Profits Rule)
To prevent the evaluation from being treated like a lottery ticket, no single trading day may exceed 50% of your total net profits.
This is based on your net P/L.
Use the formula:
Highest profit day / Net P/L = Consistency Percentage
This percentage must be below 50% to qualify for a PRO account.
If your consistency percentage is above 50%, you do not meet the consistency rule. However, you have not failed the test account; you simply need to increase your total profit goal to pass the consistency rule.
Updated Profit Goal (Automatic Adjustment)
Your consistency threshold adjusts automatically based on your net P/L.
To determine your updated profit requirement, use:
Updated Profit Goal = Net P/L × 2
This updated goal appears directly in your dashboard.
Example
Account size: $50,000
Required profit target: $3,000
Your results:
- Day 1: +$2,000
- All remaining days combined: +$1,100
Net P/L = $3,100
Consistency percentage:
$2,000 / $3,100 = 65% (too high)
You need to increase your net P/L until your highest day becomes less than 50% of total net profits.
Updated required profit (Net P/L × 2):
$3,100 × 2 = $6,200
$2,000 / $4,001 < 50%
This ensures your performance is not dominated by a single trading day.
