Instant and 1 Step have no consistency rule. The 2 Step does: no single trading day may account for more than 35% of your total profit. Anyone telling you GFN has no consistency rule at all is describing two of our three programmes, and this is the page that says which two. [Compare the three programmes →](https://getfundednow.com/challenges) · [Read the full handbook](https://getfundednow.com/rules) The rule ## Is there a consistency rule? Percentages are what the industry publishes. These are the same rules in dollars, worked on a $100,000 simulated account, so there is nothing left to convert. - **Instant consistency rule**: None No requirement to spread profit across days. - **1 Step consistency rule**: None - **2 Step consistency rule**: 35% max in one day Measured as your best day divided by your total profit while the metric is active. - **Total profit needed to carry a $4,000 best day $4,000 ÷ 35%**: $11,429 Below that, the best day is too large a share and you trade on until it is not. - **Phase 1 target on a $100,000 2 Step**: $8,000 At the 35% limit, no single day may contribute more than $2,800 of that. Plan applicability ## Which programmes this rule applies to Our three programmes do not share one rulebook. This table is the part of the page to read before you buy. - **Instant Does not apply**: None No consistency rule at any stage. One outsized day does not need to be balanced by others. - **1 Step Does not apply**: None No consistency rule in the evaluation or on the simulated funded account that follows it. - **2 Step Applies**: 35% max in one day This is the rule traders most often misread. One large day on an otherwise flat account does not pass, even when the balance is above target. Why it exists ## The reasoning, stated plainly A consistency rule asks whether a result came from a strategy or from one position that happened to work. It is a real constraint and it does fail accounts that are technically in profit, which is why it is stated here in full rather than as a footnote. The two programmes without it are priced and structured differently precisely because they carry more of that risk. Worked example ## The same rule, as a number A $100,000 simulated account, because that is the size most people are deciding about. ### Clearing the 35% rule on a $100,000 2 Step Phase 1 asks for $8,000. Here is a run that reaches it and still is not finished. - **Day 1**: +$4,500 A strong session. - **Days 2-6**: +$3,500 Total profit $8,000, target met. - **Best day as a share**: 56% Above the 35% limit, so the phase is not complete. - **Total profit needed**: $12,857 At that total, the $4,500 day is 35% of profit and the rule is satisfied. You keep trading until total profit reaches about $12,857, or until the best day is no longer the outlier. The dashboard calculation is the official one. Commonly misread ## What traders get wrong here Every item below has cost somebody an account. They are published for that reason rather than for completeness. “GFN has no consistency rule” True of Instant and 1 Step. Not true of the 2 Step, which applies 35%. Buying the 2 Step on the strength of the first half of that sentence is the single most common misunderstanding on this site. “It applies to the funded account too” The consistency metric is an evaluation requirement on the 2 Step. Check your dashboard for what is active on your account rather than assuming either way. “I can fix it by closing a losing trade” The ratio is best day over total profit. It improves by adding profit on other days, not by reducing the best one. The full cluster ## Every question about this rule The answers our support team works from, each on its own page. - [Is there a consistency rule?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/is-there-a-consistency-rule) - Not on Instant Funding or 1 Step - neither program has one.
