A consistency rule caps how much of your total profit may come from your single best day. Worked example: with a 40% rule and $3,000 of total profit, your best day may be at most $1,200 (40% of $3,000). A $1,500 best day needs $3,750 of total profit before you pass or get paid.

In short: A consistency rule caps how much of your profit can come from one day. Each firm sets the % and when it applies (evaluation, payout or both).

How to calculate the consistency rule
Formula: best-day share = best day ÷ total profit · rule met when best day ≤ total profit × limit
Example: with a 40% rule, a $1,500 best day out of $3,000 total profit is a 50% share, so the rule is not met yet: you need $3,750 in total ($1,500 ÷ 0.40), $750 more from smaller days.
Worked example: one week, day by day
| Day | Result |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | $600 |
| Day 2 | $900 |
| Day 3 | −$300 |
| Day 4 | $1,200 |
| Day 5 | $400 |
| Total profit | $2,800 |
The best day is $1,200, so its share is $1,200 ÷ $2,800 = 42.9%. Under a 50% rule that passes ($1,200 is below half of $2,800). Under a 40% rule it does not: you need a total of $3,000 ($1,200 ÷ 0.40), so $200 more from your other days, without a new best day.

Questions
What is a consistency rule in a prop firm?
A limit on how much of your profit can come from one trading day, usually written as a percentage such as 40% or 50%. It stops one outsized day from carrying an evaluation or a payout.
How do you calculate the consistency rule?
Divide your best day by your total profit. At or below the firm's limit, you meet the rule. With a 40% rule, a $600 best day needs at least $1,500 total profit ($600 ÷ 40%). The consistency rule calculator does it for you.
Which futures prop firms have no consistency rule in the evaluation?
