Prop Firm Consistency Rule Calculator: Passing FundedNext, FTMO & FundingPips 2026
The Prop Firm Consistency Rule mandates that profit generated on your single best trading day must not exceed a specified percentage (typically 30% to 40%) of your total cumulative profit target. If your total profit is $10,000 on a 40% rule, your single highest day cannot exceed $4,000.
Prop firm consistency rules were designed to eliminate "one-trade gambling" where traders pass challenges by executing maximum leverage during high-impact news. If violated, prop firms can withhold payouts or require traders to keep trading until the percentage dilutes. This guide explains the exact consistency formulas and payout defense strategies.

The Mathematical Consistency Formula
Consistency Percentage = (Highest Single Day Profit / Total Cumulative Profit) × 100. If you make $3,500 on Tuesday and your total profit across the challenge is $8,000: (3,500 / 8,000) × 100 = 43.75%. On a 40% consistency rule, your account cannot request a payout until you trade additional days to dilute the best-day share below 40%.
How to Fix a Consistency Breach Legally
If you accidentally make an outsized profit on one setup, do NOT stop trading. Calculate required additional profit: Required Total Profit = Best Day Profit / Allowed Percentage. If best day was $4,000 on a 35% cap: 4,000 / 0.35 = $11,428. You must trade until total profit reaches $11,429 with small, disciplined setups.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & EXPERT CLARIFICATIONS
Can my funded account be banned for a consistency breach?
Most firms do not ban the account, but they will reject the payout request until sufficient disciplined trading days reduce the single-day profit ratio below the contractual threshold.
