Consistency rule calculator
A consistency rule caps your best day as a share of total profit. Go over it and most firms do not fail the account; they raise the profit you need before you pass or get paid. Enter your days and check where you stand.
Result
Your best day is 52.02% of total profit, above the 40% rule. You need 1,270 more profit, spread over days no bigger than the cap.

How the arithmetic works
With a 40% rule and a best day of 1,200, your total profit must reach 1,200 divided by 0.40, which is 3,000. If your target is 3,000 the rule costs nothing extra. If your best day was 1,600, the rule asks for 4,000, so you trade on past the target. The largest next day keeps that day inside the cap once it is added to the total.
Firms differ on details: some count the rule on the evaluation only, some on every payout cycle, some reset it after each payout, and a few count single trades instead of days. Read the firm’s own rule before you plan around this number.
