Prop firm tool
Prop firm consistency calculator
The consistency rule caps how much of your profit can come from one trading day. Go over it and, depending on the firm, you either keep trading until the share is back under the cap or the excess profit is left out of your payout. Choose how your firm measures it, enter your numbers and see where your best day stands.
How the consistency rule is measured
The rule takes your best single trading day, divides it by the profit the firm measures against, and checks that share against the firm’s cap. Amounts are in US dollars; the cap and the share are percentages.
- Against the profit target: best day ÷ the phase profit target. A planning figure — not necessarily what your firm checks at payout.
- Against net profit: best day ÷ the cycle’s actual net profit, losing days included.
- Against your winning days: best day ÷ the total profit of your positive days only.
Worked example: a $4,000 best day with $20,000 of net profit is 20% — inside a 30% cap. The same day against a $10,000 profit target is 40%, over it. One day, two answers: check which measure your firm uses.

FAQ
Consistency rule — questions
What is the consistency rule in prop trading?
It caps how much of your profit may come from a single trading day. The firm sets a percentage and a measure — the phase profit target, your actual net profit, or the total of your winning days. If your best day is a bigger share than that, the condition is not met yet. What follows depends on the firm: at many you keep trading until more profit brings the share back under the cap; at some the profit above the cap is left out of the payout. The rule exists to filter out one-lucky-trade accounts and reward traders who profit steadily.
How do I calculate my consistency score?
Divide your best day’s profit by the measure your firm uses — the profit target, your net profit, or the sum of your winning days — and compare that share with the cap. At or under the cap, the condition is met. The calculator above does this live; with the profit target as the measure, the result is a planning estimate rather than a compliance check.
Which prop firms have the strictest consistency rules?
In our current data the strictest single-day caps are Alpha Capital Alpha Direct at 15%, Moneta Funded Instant at 15% and Invest Prop Economic at 20%. The most common cap is 40%. Plans we list with no single-day cap at all: 23 — they are named on this page plan by plan, because the rule is set per plan: one firm can have a capped plan and an uncapped one.
Can I still pass if my best day is exactly at the limit?
Usually yes — most firms treat the cap as a strict ceiling, so exactly at the limit (100% usage) is the maximum allowed rather than a breach. But there is zero headroom: one more profitable trade on that day tips you over. Treat 95–100% as a danger zone and bank smaller days from there.
What happens if I breach the consistency rule?
Over the cap is not automatically a breach — it depends on the firm’s own rule, so read it. At many firms, FTMO among them according to its published trading objectives, the condition is simply not met yet: you keep trading until additional profit brings your best day’s share back under the cap. At others the profit above the cap is left out of the payout. Either way, meeting the consistency condition is only one objective — the profit target, drawdown limits and minimum trading days still decide whether you pass.
