Consistency percentage equals the highest profitable day divided by total net profit, multiplied by 100. A strict below-50% rule is not passed at exactly 50%.
| Formula | Highest day ÷ total profit × 100 |
|---|---|
| Strict rule | < threshold |
| Inclusive rule | ≤ threshold |
How it works
With a $1,500 best day and $3,000 total, consistency is 50%. More than $3,000 total is required for a strict-below-50% rule.
- Define the contract and expiration month
- Convert the price move into points and ticks
- Multiply by the contract's verified point or tick value
- Account for fees, liquidity, and risk limits
Worked example
The comparison operator matters. A two-contract position moving 10 ticks changes by 20 total contract-ticks. The dollar result equals those contract-ticks multiplied by the product's tick value.
Risk and common mistakes
Losses can reduce total net profit and worsen the percentage even without a new best day.
- Confusing margin with maximum possible loss
- Using the wrong micro or E-mini multiplier
- Ignoring expiration, maintenance breaks, or economic events
- Sizing from desired profit instead of predefined risk
