Prop Firm Consistency Calculator - Check Your Trading Consistency Rule

Q: What is the prop firm consistency rule?

The consistency rule is a risk management requirement used by proprietary trading firms. It ensures that no single trading day contributes more than a specified percentage (e.g., 30%) of your total profits. This prevents traders from taking excessive risks or gambling-style trades.

Q: What is the Apex Trader Funding consistency rule?

Apex Trader Funding uses a 30% consistency rule. This means your best trading day cannot exceed 30% of your total profit. For example, if your total profit is $10,000, your best day must be $3,000 or less.

Q: What is the TopStep consistency rule?

TopStep uses a 50% consistency rule, which is more lenient than Apex. Your single best trading day cannot exceed 50% of your total profit.

Q: What happens if I breach the consistency rule?

If you breach the consistency rule, you may be denied a payout until you bring your account back into compliance. You can fix this by making additional profitable trades that don't exceed your current best day.

Q: How do I fix a consistency rule breach?

To fix a breach, you need to increase your total profit without increasing your best day profit. Our calculator shows exactly how much more profit you need. For example, if your best day is $3,000 and the limit is 30%, you need at least $10,000 total profit.

Q: Do all prop firms have the same consistency rule?

No. Each firm has different rules: Apex (30%), TopStep (50%), MyFundedFX (25%), FundedNext (varies by model). Always check your specific firm's rules.

Q: Is the consistency rule checked daily?

The consistency rule is typically evaluated when you request a payout. Some firms may monitor it continuously. It's best to stay within limits throughout your trading.

Q: Can I use this calculator for any prop firm?

What is the Consistency Rule?

Percentage = (Best Day ÷ Total Profit) × 100
