Consistency rule

Updated OCTOBER 6, 2026· Fullport Capital

Definition

A prop firm consistency rule caps how much of your total profit may come from a single trading day, so a pass reflects more than one lucky day. At Fullport no UTC day's realized profit may exceed 55% of total net profit; the rule applies only to passing the evaluation, and the 1-Day Pass skips it entirely.

The consistency rule formula#

The check is one inequality: best day ÷ total net realized profit ≤ 55%. Days are UTC calendar days, starting at 00:00 UTC, and exactly 55.0% passes.

The best day is your largest single profitable day. The total is the net sum of *every* day, red days included, which is the part most people miss.

How much total profit does a big day require?

Rearranged: total needed = best day ÷ 0.55. On a $25,000 account the +6% target is $1,500, so whichever number is larger is the one you have to reach.

Totals are net realized profit across all UTC days. A bigger best day raises the total needed above the target.

Worked examples#

  • Pass in two days. +$800, then +$700. Total $1,500, best day 53.3%. Pass. Two green days clear 55% whenever the smaller is at least about 82% of the bigger.
  • A big day, then diluted. +$1,000, then +$500. Target hit, best day 66.7% of $1,500, so keep going. A third day of +$400 makes the total $1,900 and the best day 52.6%. Pass.
  • A red day in the middle. +$1,000, −$200, +$800. Total $1,600, best day 62.5%. Reaching $1,818.19 of net profit brings the $1,000 day to 55%.

A big day never closes anything: you simply keep trading until new profit dilutes it. The consistency rule calculator runs your own days, and the rules page has the same tables.

Where it applies at Fullport#

Only at the evaluation pass check: funded accounts have no consistency rule, so one big funded day is simply a big day. Payouts are never checked for consistency.

The optional 1-Day Pass removes the rule from the evaluation too, in exchange for a +8% target instead of +6%, at the same fee. If your style produces one large day rather than several medium ones, it is the mode to pick. The consistency rule explained goes further.

Quick answers

What does a 55% consistency rule mean?
It means your best single trading day can make up no more than 55% of your total net profit when you pass. On a $1,500 total, no single UTC day may contribute more than $825 of realized profit.
What happens if one day is more than 55% of my profit?
Nothing closes. At Fullport the evaluation simply has not passed yet, and you keep trading until additional profit dilutes the big day to 55% or less of the total. Funded accounts have no consistency rule at all.
How do you maintain the consistency rule?
Aim for several similar-sized days instead of one big one, and stop adding to a day once it is clearly your best. If one day already dominates, keep trading normally: each extra profitable day lowers its share of the total.
