What a consistency rule is, and why we don't have one
At some evaluation firms, one day that's too good can delay your payout. Here's how the rule is worked out and what we do instead.
How it works
The rule compares your best day with your total profit: the best day's profit divided by the total profit. The maximum percentage differs from firm to firm.
Example: you have $6,000 of simulated profit, $3,000 of it from a single day. Your best day is 50% of the total. If the limit is 30%, you can't request a payout until your total profit reaches $10,000.
Why it exists
Firms use it to avoid paying for one big stroke of luck. For a trader, though, it means a good day can become a problem, and the sum has to be watched every day.
What we do
We have no consistency rule, on any product: how much of your simulated profit came in a single day doesn't block your request.
We protect ourselves differently, with simple rules published in advance: the first payout after 30 days, then at most every 14 days, with public caps of 4%, 7% and 9% of the capital per request. What goes over the cap waits for the next request and can be lost through losses or if the agreement ends.
What still applies
The loss limits and the practices forbidden in the terms still apply. If you lose the profit before you request it, or the account ends, it is no longer paid.
