Rules and risk

# No consistency rule, no payout cap: the trade-off.

At GFN, the 1 Step is the program with no consistency rule and no withdrawal cap. One day can supply the whole 10% target, and once funded, each 14-day payout is your full share of simulated profit. In exchange it costs more than the 2 Step and has no free retake.

## What are a consistency rule and a payout cap?

They are two different limits that often get searched together because both restrict how a strong period turns into money.

- **A consistency rule** limits how much of your total profit one day can supply. On the GFN 2 Step, no single day may exceed 35% of total profit. See [the consistency rule, explained](https://getfundednow.com/guides/consistency-rule).
- **A payout or withdrawal cap** limits how much you can take out in one payout cycle, however much the account made. On GFN Instant, withdrawals are capped at 2% of the account per cycle, above a 3% buffer. See [withdrawal cap rules](https://getfundednow.com/rules/withdrawal-cap).

A program with neither lets a trader pass on a single strong session and withdraw a single strong cycle in full. The rest of the rule set - the daily loss limit and the max drawdown - still applies to every trade.

## Which GFN program has no consistency rule and no payout cap?

**Consistency rule and payout cap by GFN program**

| Program | Consistency rule | Withdrawal cap | Profit share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instant | None | 2% per cycle above a 3% buffer | 70% |
| 1 Step | None | None | 80%, or 90% with the add-on |
| 2 Step | 35% max in one day | None | 80%, or 90% with the add-on |

Every figure is read from the published program rules. Full detail: [1 Step](https://getfundednow.com/challenges/1-step), [consistency rule by plan](https://getfundednow.com/rules/no-consistency-rule).

Only the [1 Step](https://getfundednow.com/challenges/1-step) is free of both. Instant has no consistency rule but caps withdrawals; the 2 Step has no cap but a consistency rule during the evaluation.

## What does the 1 Step trade for having neither rule?

A $100,000 1 Step

- **Fee, one-time**: $473 The $100,000 2 Step is $405.
- **Profit target**: $10,000 One phase. It can be reached in one day.
- **Daily loss limit**: $5,000
- **Max drawdown**: $8,000 Trails your highest balance until the balance reaches $108,000, then stays fixed at the starting $100,000.
- **Profit share**: 80%, or 90% with the add-on
- **Payouts**: Every 14 days No withdrawal cap per cycle.

The costs are a higher fee than the 2 Step, no free retake if you breach, and a trailing drawdown rather than a fixed one until the lock point. See [trailing drawdown](https://getfundednow.com/rules/trailing-drawdown).

## Who should choose a program without these rules?

- **Traders whose profit comes in a few large days.** A consistency rule works against that pattern; the 1 Step does not have one.
- **Traders who want each payout in full.** With no cap, a strong 14-day cycle is paid as your share of that cycle's simulated profit.
- **Not traders who want the cheapest entry.** The [2 Step](https://getfundednow.com/challenges/2-step) is cheaper at every size both sell and includes a free retake.
- **Not traders who want to skip the evaluation.** That is [Instant](https://getfundednow.com/challenges/instant), which carries the withdrawal cap.

No consistency rule does not mean no risk rules

A single large day still has to fit inside the $5,000 daily loss limit on a $100,000 account. Position size is what keeps a big day from becoming a breach. See [the daily loss limit](https://getfundednow.com/rules/daily-loss-limit).

## Questions

No. The 1 Step has no consistency rule and no minimum trading days, so the 10% target can be reached in one session.

No. The 1 Step has no withdrawal cap. Only Instant caps withdrawals, at 2% of the account per cycle above a 3% buffer.

The 2 Step, from $22. It has a 35% consistency rule during the evaluation and no withdrawal cap once funded.
