Profit Consistency Rule

  • Total profit after 30 days = $3,000.
  • Best day's profit = $1,400 fails the consistency test ($1,400 > 40% of $3,000).
  • Best day's profit = $1,100 passes the rule.
  • If you make $1,400 in a day, your required total profit increases to $3,500 so the best day falls below 40%.

Intraday Trailing Drawdown (Challenge Phase)

  • When your account balance rises, the drawdown level trails upward by the same amount.
  • If your equity later drops below this trailed level, the account breaches.
  • This includes unrealized (open) profits during the trading session.

End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown (Funded Phase)

  • Unrealized intraday gains do not move the drawdown.
  • Only your end-of-day closing equity determines the next day's minimum balance.
  • If your account falls below the locked-in threshold, it breaches.
