Funded Session Consistency Rule

Rule Description

The Consistency Target rule of 30% for the Funded Session account is one of requirements for withdrawal request. It does not determine the sum of withdrawal. Once it is reached it will be marked as Green in the LMI Trade Report module.

For traders who stick to a consistent system, with regular contract amounts, trade frequency, and steady day-to-day performance, the Consistency Target rule isn't a hard and fast requirement. It exists to discourage high-risk, erratic, all-or-nothing strategies, and windfall-driven trading behaviors.

After each withdrawal request is completed - the Consistency Target rule will be reset and calculated using trades made after withdrawal request is completed.

Example case: Consistency Target: 30% (does not determine the sum of withdrawal) Account balance before the first withdrawal: $5,000 First withdrawal request: $1,000 Remaining account balance after the first withdrawal request is completed: $5,000 - $1,000 = $4,000 Total balance accumulated since the last approved payout will be used to calculate Consistency Target. Conditions for Consistency Target after withdrawal: In that case, if during 5 next trading days, the trader has made $3,000 in total - the best day result should not reach or be more than 30%(Consistency Target) of $3,000 earned from the last completed withdrawal request that is $3,000 * 0.30 = $1,000.

How does this rule work?

If your best trading day makes up to 30% or less of the total gain*, then the Consistency Target will be marked as reached for a withdrawal requirements.

If your best trading day makes more than 30% of the total gain*, then the Consistency Target will not be marked as reached and withdrawal requirement will not be met until the best trading day makes up 30% or less of the total gain*.

The LMI Trade Report module displays the Profit Target, calculated using the following formulas:
For the first withdrawal: Highest Profit Day / 0.3. This helps traders monitor their adherence to the Consistency Target rule.

For any further withdrawals from the account: account balance after withdrawal + (Best Day after the last withdrawal / 0.3). 


* From the start of trading (if there were no withdrawals on the account yet) or from the last reset of the Consistency Target (after the last completed withdrawal request).

Does this rule determine the sum of withdrawal?

No, it does not determine the sum of withdrawal. It is only a requirement for a withdrawal. Please check this article about withdrawals.

Examples of rule calculation

Example 1:
Total gain: $10,000
Best trading day: $2,500
Percentage of total gain from the best day: ($2,500 / $10,000) * 100 = 25%
Since the best trading day is 25% of the total gain (which is less than 30%), the Consistency Target is reached, and this withdrawal requirement is fulfilled.

Example 2:
Total gain: $15,000
Best trading day: $6,000
Percentage of total gain from the best day: ($6,000 / $15,000) * 100 = 40%
Since the best trading day is 40% of the total gain (which is more than 30%), the Consistency Target is not reached. The trader needs more consistent trading days to lower the percentage of the best day below 30%.

Example 3:
Total gain: $7,500
Best trading day: $2,000
Percentage of total gain from the best day: ($2,000 / $7,500) * 100 = 26.67%
The best trading day makes up 26.67% of the total gain (less than 30%), so the Consistency Target is reached, and this withdrawal requirement is fulfilled.

Example 4:
Total gain: $20,000
Best trading day: $7,000
Percentage of total gain from the best day: ($7,000 / $20,000) * 100 = 35%
The best trading day is 35% of the total gain (more than 30%), meaning the Consistency Target is not reached. The trader must achieve more consistent performance to reduce the best day’s impact.
