How the consistency rule actually works

Most futures prop firms cap how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day. If one big day dominates, they won't pay you out until you spread the gains across more sessions — the point is to show consistent performance, not lucky one-offs.

The math: ratio = best winning day ÷ total net profit. If ratio > threshold, you fail. To pass you either need (a) more total profit so your best day shrinks as a share, or (b) wait for the next payout window and trade more days.

"Max safe next-day P&L" = the most you can make on your next trading day before that day becomes your new best and breaks the ratio. Formula: threshold × current_total ÷ (1 − threshold). Useful as a sanity check when you're sizing up a setup.
