Prop firms
What is Consistency rule?
By the verify.trading team · Last reviewed · How we write
A consistency rule is a prop firm condition that limits how much of your total profit can come from one day or one trade, to discourage a single big win.
Key points
- Caps how much profit one day or trade can contribute.
- Not every firm has one.
- Wording and scope vary.
Consistency rule explained
Where it exists, it is usually expressed as a maximum percentage of total profit that a single day may represent. Not every firm has one, and where it applies to a payout or a pass differs, so read the wording.
