[Lightning Plan] What’s the consistency rule?
To promote steady, sustainable trading performance, we have a consistency rule that applies to specific account type:
Lightning Plan:
-
30% Consistency Rule: This rule applies to both the Challenge and Live stages.
-
Profits from any single trading day cannot exceed 30% of the total profits made.
How the Consistency Rule Works
If your profits from one day exceed the allowed percentage of the total profits (30%), you must continue trading until each trading day’s profit falls below the consistency threshold.
30% Consistency Rule Explained for a 100k Account (5% Profit Target)
This rule ensures that your profits build consistently rather than coming from a single exceptional day. With a 100k account aiming for a 5% profit target, you’re looking to earn $5,000 in total. Under this rule, no single day’s profit should account for more than 30% of your cumulative gains.
For instance, if your cumulative profit reaches $5,000, then any one day’s profit should not exceed $1,500 (30% of $5,000). If you have a day where you make, say, $1,800, that day’s gain would be too high, meaning your profits aren’t spread out enough. In that case, you would need to continue trading until your overall profit increases enough so that the high-profit day falls within the acceptable 30% limit.
