Evaluations and accounts

# Consistency rule

A rule capping how much of an account's total profit may come from a single trading day. It stops one outsized day from carrying an otherwise flat account through an evaluation.

GFN’s figure

Only the GFN 2 Step has a consistency rule: no single trading day may account for more than 35% of total profit. Instant and the 1 Step have none.

- **Instant Consistency rule**: None
- **1 Step Consistency rule**: None
- **2 Step Consistency rule**: 35% of total profit, maximum, in one day

In detail

## Consistency rule, explained

Consistency rules are the most frequently misread rule in prop trading, because they can be satisfied and then broken again by a later good day. The metric is a ratio, so it moves whenever either side of it moves.

Where a best day is over the cap, the usual remedy is to keep trading and grow total profit until that day's share falls back under it - not to stop, and not to take a deliberate loss.

Worked example

If your best day on a 2 Step account made $4,000, total profit has to reach about $11,429 before that day represents 35% or less. The dashboard calculation is the official metric.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Minimum trading days](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/minimum-trading-days) - The number of separate days on which an account must trade before an evaluation phase can pass. Some firms also require a minimum profit on each qualifying day for it to count.
- [Two-step evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/two-step-evaluation) - An assessment split into two phases with separate profit targets. The first phase proves the strategy, the second - usually at a lower target - checks it repeats before the firm issues a simulated funded account.
- [Profit target](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/profit-target) - The virtual gain required to pass an evaluation phase, stated as a percentage of the starting balance. It is the only objective you have to reach; every other rule is something you have to avoid.
- [Pass rate](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/pass-rate) - The share of purchased evaluations that reach a funded account. Industry figures are usually low single digits, and almost every published number is unaudited and defined differently by whoever published it.
- [Evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation) - The assessment stage of a prop programme, traded on a simulated account. Profits made during an evaluation are simulated results used to decide whether you pass; they are not withdrawable.
