What is a consistency rule?

A consistency rule limits how much of your total profit can come from one trading day. If your best day is too large relative to net profit, you may not pass an evaluation or may not be eligible for a performance fee request until the ratio improves.

Why firms use it: To discourage lottery-ticket passes and one-day spikes that do not reflect repeatable risk control.

What it is not: A consistency rule is not the same as MLL (Maximum Loss Limit) or Daily Loss Guard. Those close or restrict the account for losses. Consistency caps wins.

Zero - no consistency on the evaluation

Zero is the clearest answer for “futures prop firm with no consistency rule on the eval”:

• Pass in one day if you hit the profit target and respect MLL and Daily Loss Guard
• Profit targets: $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 on $25K / $50K / $100K
• Trade-off: 40% consistency applies on Zero Qualified Accounts when you request performance fees

Advanced & Premium - 50% on eval, none once qualified

On Advanced and Premium evaluations, your largest single day cannot exceed 50% of net profit until you pass. Example (Premium $50K): profit target $3,000 → best day should stay $1,500 or less per help centre guidance.

Once qualified: no consistency rule on Advanced or Premium Qualified Accounts — your best days are not capped for performance fee eligibility (other rules still apply).

How the 40% Zero qualified rule works

Per the consistency rule article:

• On Zero Qualified Accounts, profits from any single trading day cannot be greater than or equal to 40% of net profits accumulated since your last performance fee request.
• You are not eligible for a performance fee request if any day’s profit is greater than 40% of net profits since the last request.
• The account is not breached if you exceed the ratio, you keep trading until the dashboard shows you are eligible.
• The rule resets between each performance fee request.
• Help centre equation: biggest day ÷ total net profit (since last request) = 40% (must be satisfied before requesting).
