Consistency Rule Calculator

Plan an appropriate best-day profit limit before trading, or enter your current results to see whether your account meets the consistency rule and how much total profit may be required.

What is a consistency rule?

A rule that measures how much of your profit came from your best trading day

The smaller your best trading day is relative to total profit, the lower your consistency ratio. For example, a $200 best day and $1,000 total profit produces a 20% consistency ratio.

Consistency Ratio Best Trading Day ÷ Total Profit × 100

How to Read the Result

Three points that simplify the rule

01

A lower ratio is better

If your current ratio is below the required limit, your account currently meets the consistency rule.

02

Your best day sets the threshold

A new day that exceeds your previous best may increase the total profit required for compliance.

03

More profit can restore compliance

When your ratio is too high, increasing total profit without setting a higher best day will lower the ratio.
