Prop Firm Consistency Rule Explained

QUICK ANSWER

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%.

FormulaHighest day ÷ total profit × 100
Strict rule< threshold
Inclusive rule≤ threshold
01

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
02

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.

03

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
