Why Use the Consistency Rule Calculator?
You can pass every other prop firm rule and still be denied your payout because one large day dominates your total profits. This calculator gives an instant pass/fail verdict and shows exactly how much more steady profit you need to earn to bring that big day into compliance — without taking the risks of another outlier day.
Formula Used
Max Allowed Best Day = Total Profit × Consistency % | Min Total Needed = Best Day Profit ÷ Consistency %Worked Example
FTMO 30% consistency rule. Total profits = $6,500. Best day = $2,800. Consistency score = $2,800 ÷ $6,500 = 43.1% — fails. Min total profits needed = $2,800 ÷ 0.30 = $9,333. You need $2,833 more in total profits spread across multiple steady days (no single day above $500) to bring the ratio into compliance before requesting payout.

Consistency Rule Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the prop firm consistency rule?
The consistency rule requires that no single trading day accounts for more than a set percentage (usually 30–50%) of your total profits. If your best day is $3,000 and total profits are $8,000 (37.5%), you fail the 30% consistency rule. You must earn enough total profit so the best day is under the threshold.
Q.Does FTMO have a consistency rule?
Yes. FTMO applies a 30% consistency rule at payout. If your best single trading day exceeds 30% of your total profits, FTMO may flag your account or deny the payout. This encourages consistent trading rather than gambling on one big trade. Plan your trading so no single day dominates your P&L.
Q.How do I fix a consistency rule violation?
Continue trading to increase your total profits. If your best day was $3,000 and you need it to be under 30% of total profits, you need total profits above $10,000 ($3,000 ÷ 0.30). Don't take large risks on remaining days — build profits steadily through smaller, consistent gains.
Q.Which prop firms have a consistency rule?
FTMO (30%), FundedNext (40%), The5ers (some plans), MyForexFunds (was 30% before shutdown). Many newer prop firms have removed the consistency rule as a competitive move. Always check the current rules on your firm's official website before trading.
Q.How do I avoid violating the consistency rule?
Never risk more than your planned amount on any single day. If your daily profit target is $500, don't let one trade run to $3,000 — it will skew your consistency ratio. Take profits at your target. Treat every day as the same, whether it is a Monday or a high-volatility news day. Consistency in sizing = consistency in results.
