Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the Prop Firm Consistency Rule
The consistency rule is one of the most misunderstood requirements in prop trading. It ensures that your profits are evenly distributed across trading days rather than concentrated in a single lucky session. Most firms measure this as a percentage: no single day's profit should exceed X% of your total profit.
For example, with a 30% consistency limit: if your total profit is $3,000 over 10 days, no single day should account for more than $900 in profit. If your best day was $1,200, your consistency ratio would be 40% — exceeding the 30% limit.
How to Maintain Consistency
The best approach is to set daily profit targets and stop trading once you hit them. If your average winning day is $300, cap yourself at $500-600 max. This prevents outlier days from dominating your total. Some traders also scale down position sizes on days when they're already significantly profitable.
