⚡ KEY TAKEAWAYS & CORE FINDINGS
- 30% consistency rule means your best day cannot exceed 30% of your total balance gain.
- If you hit a $3,000 day, you must trade until your cumulative profit reaches $10,000.
- Use micro-lots to safely build out additional trading days without risking drawdown.
You hit your profit target! You request a payout. 24 hours later, the compliance team emails you: 'Payout denied: Account violates 30% consistency threshold.' This is the most common heartbreak in modern prop trading.
The Mathematical Formula
To calculate whether your account passes the 30% consistency rule:
Max Allowable Best Day = Total Accumulated Profit × 0.30
If your largest winning day is $1,800, your total account profit must be at least $6,000 ($1,800 ÷ 0.30) before your payout request can be signed off.
