Prop trading accounts
What are Consistency Rules and why do prop firms enforce uniform performance profiles across trading cycles?
By Easy Money Scanner · Educational reference · Not investment advice
The short answer
Consistency rules require profits to be spread across multiple trading days rather than concentrated in one, preventing single large wins from satisfying a profit target.
How it works
Firms impose these to encourage repeatable performance and discourage over-leveraged single-session gambling that could skew evaluation outcomes unfairly.
An example
No single day may exceed 30% of total profit target.
Risk & limitations
Specific percentage thresholds vary significantly firm to firm.
