How to Use the Consistency Calculator

Simply input key numbers to get an instant analysis of your trading performance:

Account Size
Select the size of your evaluation or funded account
Profit Target
This is the total profit you need to hit. For an evaluation, it's the goal to pass. For a funded account, it's often the minimum profit needed before you can request your first withdrawal.
Best Trading Day's Profit
Look at your trading history and find the day you made the most money. Enter that amount here.
Consistency Rule Threshold
This is the crucial percentage set by your prop firm. It dictates the maximum your best day's profit can contribute to your overall profit. You can find this in your account dashboard or their FAQ section. (If you're unsure, 40% is a common benchmark).
Days Traded
Enter the number of unique days you have placed at least one trade during your evaluation period.
Minimum Days Required
Enter the minimum number of trading days your prop firm requires to pass the challenge. This proves your strategy is viable over a period of time.

Why Consistency is a Golden Rule in Prop Trading

Proprietary trading firms invest their capital in traders who demonstrate stable, repeatable performance. The consistency rule is their primary tool for managing risk and filtering for disciplined traders.

Here’s why it’s non-negotiable:

It Proves Real Skill

It shows that your success comes from a consistent strategy, not a single lucky, high-risk trade (like a "YOLO" trade on a news event).

It Encourages Smart Risk Management

Consistent traders typically have strict daily loss limits and profit targets. They don't over-leverage to hit home runs; they aim for steady singles and doubles.

It Aligns with Long-Term Profitability

Firms want to build lasting relationships with traders. A trader who can generate steady returns month after month is a far more valuable asset than one with a boom-and-bust equity curve.

By mastering consistency, you're not just playing by their rules—you're adopting the mindset of a professional portfolio manager.

Pro Tips for Staying Compliant

Front-load your caution
If you hit a big winner early in your challenge/month, trade smaller positions until your total profit catches up
Use a journal
Track your best day and current consistency % in a trading journal
Set alerts
Some traders set a "max profit per day" alert to avoid accidentally exceeding their target
Understand the math
If your best day is $1,000 and the rule is 40%, you'll need $2,500 total profit minimum ($1,000 ÷ 0.40 = $2,500)

Frequently Asked Questions

While it varies, a common range is between 30% and 50%. This means no single day's profit can account for more than 30-50% of your total profits.
Examples by firm:

Topstep & Take Profit Trader: 50%
Apex Trader Funding: 40% (varies by program)
Bulenox: 40%
E8 Markets: 25-40% (depends on challenge type)

Always check your specific firm's rules, as they can differ even between evaluation and funded phases.

This depends on the firm and the account type.

On an Evaluation/Challenge: It often results in a failed attempt.

On a Funded Account: You typically won't lose the account. Instead, you won't be able to request a payout. You will need to continue trading (without violating your daily drawdown) until your best day falls within the required percentage.

Yes. The consistency rule is a mathematical principle that applies regardless of the asset class you trade. As long as you know your firm's percentage rule, you can use Kinetic Trading's Prop Firm Consistency Calculator.

Focus on a well-defined trading plan. Have a set risk-per-trade (e.g., 0.5% - 1% of account balance), know your entry and exit criteria, and avoid emotional decisions. The goal is to make many well-executed trades, not one perfect trade.

Yes, you can still make money, but you won't be able to withdraw it immediately. On a funded account, you'll need to keep trading (while following all other rules) until your total profits increase enough that your best day falls within the allowed percentage. For example, if your best day was $2,000 and the rule is 40%, you'd need at least $5,000 in total profits before requesting a payout

This varies by firm. Some firms calculate consistency across your entire trading history on the account, while others reset it monthly or per payout period. Check your specific firm's policy, as this significantly impacts your strategy.
