Many evaluations cap how much of your profit can come from your best day. Enter your total profit, your best day and the rule, and see whether you pass, and how much more profit you need if you don't.
How it works
The rule. Your best day divided by your total profit must stay at or under the limit, often 30% to 50%. Total profit is the net of every day, losing days included.
Profit you still need. Divide your best day by the limit to get the total profit that makes it fit. A $1,500 best day under a 50% rule needs $3,000 of total profit.
Your biggest allowed day. Multiply your total profit by the limit to see how large a day can be before it breaks the rule. A huge day can make the rule harder to meet, not easier.
Example
Your best day made $1,500 and the account is up $2,500 in total. $1,500 is 60% of $2,500, above a 50% rule, so the account can't pass yet. Total profit has to reach $3,000: $500 more, made on days smaller than your best one, because a bigger day raises the bar again.
Questions
What is a consistency rule in a prop firm evaluation?
A limit on how much of your total profit can come from a single day. It stops one lucky day from passing the evaluation. With a 50% rule, no day can be more than half of your profit.
Do losing days count?
Yes, total profit is the net of all days, so a losing day lowers it and makes your best day a bigger share.
What if my best day is too big?
Keep trading smaller, steady days until the total is large enough. Another big day raises your best day and moves the target further away.
Can I practice with a consistency rule?
Yes. Evaluation accounts in the ChartTrainer simulator take a consistency rule and check it on every day, next to the profit target and loss limits.
