Consistency rule calculator
A consistency rule caps how much of your total profit may come from one day. It is the rule that holds up a pass after the target is already hit — because one outsized day quietly raises the amount of total profit you now need. Pick your firm and account to see the cap, the minimum number of winning days, and what your best day costs you.
Frequently asked
What is a consistency rule?
A cap on how much of your total profit may come from a single trading day — or, at a few firms, a single trade. A 50% rule means no one day may be more than half of everything you made. Break it and the pass or the payout is held until the balance of your profit catches up.
How many winning days do I need?
At least 100 ÷ the percentage, rounded up: a 50% rule needs 2 days, 40% needs 3, 30% needs 4, 20% needs 5. That is the arithmetic minimum for an even split; most firms also state their own minimum trading days, and whichever is larger is the one that binds.
What happens if one day is too big?
Nothing is deleted — the finish line moves. If your best day is $2,000 under a 40% rule, your total profit has to reach $5,000 before that day is compliant, whatever the target was. The calculator shows the extra profit that big day just cost you.
Does every prop firm have a consistency rule?
No. Of the 22 futures prop firms PassTraq tracks, 15 publish a consistency rule on at least one evaluation plan and 7 publish none on the plans PassTraq has verified. Several firms apply one only at the funded/payout stage, which is a separate rulebook from the evaluation.
Is the percentage measured against my profit or the target?
PassTraq models it against total profit, which is the tighter of the two readings. Some firms state theirs against the profit target instead, which is looser once you are past the target. The number here will never let you break the rule; check the firm’s exact wording before you plan around the difference.

A calculator is a snapshot. PassTraq runs these same limits against your actual fills, every day, and warns you before a breach instead of after.
