Prop Firm Consistency Calculator
Instantly check if you meet your prop firm's consistency rule requirements.
What is the Consistency Rule?
The Consistency Rule is a standard requirement used by many proprietary trading firms (prop firms) to ensure that a trader's profits are not the result of a single lucky trade ("gambling") but rather the result of a consistent and reproducible trading strategy.
Typically, firms state that your best trading day cannot exceed a certain percentage (e.g., 30%, 40%, or 50%) of your total profit generated during the evaluation period.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Total Net Profit: Input the total amount of profit you have made so far.

- Check Status: The calculator will immediately tell you if you Pass or Fail based on the consistency percentage.
Why Do Prop Firms Have This Rule?
- Risk Management: It prevents traders from taking excessive risks to pass an evaluation in one lucky shot.
- Sustainability: Firms want to fund traders who can generate steady returns over time.
- Discipline: It encourages traders to stick to a plan rather than "full sending" a trade.
FAQS
What happens if I violate the rule?
If your best day profit percentage is too high, you usually need to continue trading to generate more profit on other days. This increases the denominator (Total Profit), thereby lowering the percentage of your best day.
Is the rule calculated on realized or unrealized profit?
Most firms calculate this based on realized profit (closed trades) at the end of the day. However, always check your specific firm's Terms and Conditions.
