The stability metric ensures trading is systematic, not random. No single trading day should account for more than 30% of total profit.
Prop firms seek consistent traders who manage risk properly. Going 'all-in' or making random large profits during news is not professional trading. This rule applies only to funded accounts.
Formula: Max daily profit = Total profit × 0.30
Example: If total profit is $10,000, no single day should have exceeded $3,000 in net profit.
What happens if one day's profit exceeds 30%?
If one day's profit exceeds 30% of total profit, it is not a violation. You simply need to continue trading and increase total profit until that day represents less than 30% of the overall total.
Example: Imagine you traded for a week and made a total profit of $10,000. Total profit: $10,000 Consistency limit (30%): $10,000 * 0.30 = $3,000 This means your most profitable day or your single largest trade must not exceed $3,000.
Scenario 1: Rule followed (Everything is fine) Day 1: $1,000 profit Day 2: $1,500 profit Day 3: $2,500 profit Day 4: $2,000 profit Day 5: $3,000 profit Total: $10,000 Here, your largest profit is $3,000. This meets the 30% limit (or does not exceed it). You have not violated the rule.
Scenario 2: Rule violated (There is a problem) Day 1: $500 profit Day 2: $500 profit Day 3: $6,000 profit (a single large trade or a lucky day) Day 4: $1,500 profit Day 5: $1,500 profit Total: $10,000 Here, you have made a total of $10,000, but your largest profit ($6,000) accounts for 60% of the total profit. Since you exceeded the 30% limit, you must continue trading until the consistency rule percentage drops below 30%.
