Consistency Rule & Withdrawal Forecast – Full Policy Explanation
1. Withdrawal Forecast
1.1 What the Withdrawal Forecast Shows
The Withdrawal Forecast displays:
• The expected payout eligibility for the next 7 days
• Closed profit only
• Profits from live and active accounts only
• Profit amounts shown before profit split
The forecast is a projection tool. It estimates potential withdrawable profits based on time eligibility and account status.
1.2 What the Withdrawal Forecast Does NOT Check
The Withdrawal Forecast does not evaluate:
• The consistency rule
• Floating (open) profit
• Risk violations
• Account breaches
• Rule compliance beyond time-based eligibility
Important: If consistency requirements are not met, the forecast may show profits that are not yet withdrawable.
1.3 How to Check Which Accounts Contribute to the Withdrawal Forecast
To see which accounts are contributing to the withdrawable profits shown in the forecast:
1. From the CRM, open Trade Accounts (list view).
2. In the top-right filters, set Phase = Live and Status = Active.
3. Sort by Profit by clicking the Profit column header.
4. Accounts showing profit greater than 0 are contributing to the Withdrawal Forecast.
Note: Only accounts that are both Live and Active, and have closed profits, are reflected in the forecast.
2. Definition of the Consistency Rule
The Consistency Rule measures how much of a trader’s total profit was generated on their single most profitable day.
The purpose of the rule is to ensure performance is consistent rather than dependent on one unusually large trading day.
3. Core Rule Logic
• A trader can make unlimited profit on any single day.
• A trader cannot pass the evaluation phase if their most profitable day exceeds the allowed consistency percentage.
• A trader cannot request a payout if their most profitable day exceeds the allowed consistency percentage.
• A trader can continue trading until the ratio falls within the permitted threshold.
The rule does not limit profit. It regulates how profit is distributed across trading days.
4. How the Consistency Rule Is Calculated
4.1 Formula
Largest Profitable Day ÷ Total Accumulated Closed Profit ≤ Consistency Percentage
Only closed profit is included in this calculation. Open (floating) trades are excluded.
4.2 Required Total Profit Formula
Required Total Profit = Largest Profitable Day ÷ Consistency Percentage
5. Example Calculation
Account size: $100,000
Consistency rule: 25%
Largest profitable day: $3,000
Calculation:
3,000 ÷ 0.25 = 12,000
Result:
• If total profit is $8,000 → Not compliant
• If total profit is $12,000 → Compliant
• If total profit is above $12,000 → Compliant
The trader must reach at least $12,000 in total closed profit to satisfy the rule.
6. When the Consistency Rule Is Enforced
• When attempting to pass an evaluation phase
• When requesting a payout
• When verifying withdrawal eligibility
It is not a daily trading restriction. It is a qualification requirement.
7. What Counts Toward the Calculation
Included:
• Closed profit only
• The single highest profit day
• Total accumulated closed profit
Not included:
• Open (floating) PnL
• Losing days directly (except as they affect total profit)
• Projected or estimated profits
• Withdrawal Forecast projections
8. Can Traders Fix Consistency?
Yes. If a trader’s largest profitable day exceeds the allowed percentage:
• The trader may continue trading.
• The trader may accumulate more closed profit.
• As total profit increases, the percentage ratio decreases.
• Once the ratio falls within the allowed percentage, the rule is satisfied.
There is no penalty for temporarily exceeding the consistency percentage. It only affects eligibility for evaluation passing or payouts.
9. Update Frequency
Consistency updates follow the same timing as position synchronization cycles.
Example: On TradeLocker, positions sync approximately every 20 minutes, and consistency updates at the same interval.
Other platforms may use different synchronization timeframes depending on infrastructure.
10. Summary
• The Withdrawal Forecast shows projected withdrawable profits for the next 7 days but does not evaluate the consistency rule.
• The consistency rule ensures no single profitable day exceeds the allowed percentage of total closed profit.
• Only closed profit is used in the calculation.
• Traders can continue trading until the percentage requirement is met.
• Consistency updates alongside position synchronization cycles.
