Yes, we have a consistency rule designed to support disciplined trading and avoid high-risk “all-in” moves. This rule doesn’t restrict your trading strategy, but it does set boundaries to ensure consistent risk management across trades.
To maintain consistency, we monitor each trader’s lot sizes, number of trades, and trading days. The consistency rule requires that trading volume and lot sizes remain steady, avoiding sharp increases or decreases in risk. To set your consistency limits, an average is calculated each week based on the trading days, number of trades, and lot size for each symbol. From this average, the system establishes a Maximum Weekly Average Limit and a Minimum Weekly Average Limit. The upper limit is twice the calculated average (Average x 2), while the lower limit is half the average (Average / 2). You must ensure that your trading falls within these boundaries at all times, meaning you should not execute trades with sizes or frequencies that exceed the upper limit or drop below the lower limit.
As part of the consistency rule, we also set a limit on the maximum profit that can be earned from a single trade, which is capped at 30% of the profit target for the current phase. For example:
Considering a $100,000 account during Step 1, the profit target is 8%, or $8,000.
The maximum profit allowed per trade would be 30% of $8,000, resulting in a limit of $2,400.
This restriction is in place to discourage high-risk “coinflip” trades, which are high-stakes moves often aimed at short-term profits without adequate consideration of the associated risks.
By maintaining consistent position sizing and trade frequency, traders build sustainable habits and disciplined execution, which aligns with our goals as a prop firm. Our focus is on helping traders develop an equity curve that’s smooth and steady. Large swings in account value due to a single high-risk trade are avoidable risks, and our consistency rule aims to prevent these unnecessary fluctuations.
