What the consistency rule is and which prop firms have it (2026)
You passed the challenge, you're funded, you request the payout… and it's rejected. Welcome to the consistency rule.
What it is
It requires that no single day is too large a share of your total profit. Common form: your best day can't exceed 30-50% of profit.
Example
$6,000 target with 50% consistency: your best day can't contribute more than $3,000. Make $5,500 in one day and you don't pass — even if the sum is enough.
Which firms have it
| Firm | Consistency | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Apex | ~30% | payout |
| Topstep | 50% | Combine + payout |
| Alpha Capital | 40% | On-Demand payout |
| Blue Guardian | 50% | evaluation |
| FTMO | no hard rule | — |
| FundedNext CFD | no | futures only |
How to meet it without thinking
PropGuard computes live how much you can make per day without skewing the average, and warns you when a day is getting "too good".
PropGuard stops you before you break these your prop firm rules
Connect your your prop firm account, keep trading your strategy, and PropGuard watches every limit live (daily loss, drawdown, consistency, quick strike, news). When you get close to the edge it auto-closes or blocks — before a technicality kills your account.
