What is Consistency rule?
A consistency rule limits the share of total profit that may come from a single trading day, so a phase cannot be passed with one lucky trade.
Prop firms want to fund repeatable trading, not one big win. A consistency rule checks that your profit is spread across several days.
The usual form is a best-day limit: the most profitable day may not exceed a set percentage of the total profit of the phase. If it does, you simply keep trading until the total grows enough.
The rule is rarely a reason to fail an account outright. It usually delays passing, which is why it pays to aim for steady days rather than a single home run.
Example
Example: with a 50% best-day rule and $1,000 of total profit, no single day may have made more than $500. If your best day made $600, you need total profit of at least $1,200 before the phase can pass.
At a prop firm
At Axora Funded the best day may not exceed 50% of the phase profit on the 2-Step and Spark, 40% on the 1-Step, Ascent, Pass and futures, and 30% on Elite. Payout requests on newer accounts also require the best day of the period to stay under 40%.
Frequently asked questions
Does breaking the consistency rule fail my account?
No. At Axora Funded it only blocks passing the phase until your total profit is large enough.
How can I stay consistent?
Use the same risk on every trade and set a daily profit cap, so no single day dominates the result.
