Definition
A consistency rule limits how much of the total profit can come from one day, one trade, or one concentrated period.
Why it matters in comparisons
A trader can be profitable but still miss payout eligibility if consistency rules are not met. FundedFinder treats this as comparison research only, not a recommendation to buy a challenge or place a trade.
Example scenario
If one day produces too much of the account profit, additional trading days may be required before payout. The exact numbers and conditions can vary by provider, account size, market and challenge type.
What to verify
- Check whether consistency applies to challenge, funded stage, or payout.
- Track day-by-day contribution.
- Avoid oversized trades near payout eligibility.
- Verify exact formulas on the official site.
Verification note
Confirm futures-specific details such as contract limits, trailing drawdown, platform access, activation fees, and market data costs.
FundedFinder is informational only. Glossary pages explain terms and rule concepts; they do not recommend buying a challenge or placing a trade.
