Prop Firm Consistency Rules Explained
A consistency rule limits the share of total profit earned on the best trading day. It can affect payout eligibility even when the account is profitable. Check the stage, cap and denominator specified by the provider.
Funded consistency, separate from the evaluation
No single trading day may account for more than 30% of total profit on OA Flex or 35% on OA Core. This is a funded-account payout condition and does not apply during the evaluation.
Calculate best-day profit divided by total profit, multiplied by 100. A result equal to the cap is within the maximum. If best-day profit is $900 and the cap is 30%, total profit must be at least $3,000. Recalculate after subsequent results; a losing day can increase the ratio.
A loss can change eligibility
| Event | Best day | Total profit | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before loss | $900 | $3,000 | 30% |
| After a $300 loss | $900 | $2,700 | 33.33% |
Recalculate without forcing trades
The formula identifies the additional net profit needed if the best day remains fixed. It does not tell you how to earn that amount safely or guarantee that the next day will not become a new best day.
Stage-specific interpretation
Some providers apply rules during evaluation; others apply them at payout. OA Funded’s current FAQ applies consistency on funded accounts only. Do not import older evaluation consistency text.
