How does the EoD Trailing Maximum Drawdown work?
The EoD Max Drawdown is 3% for Standard and 4% for Premium.

Once the floor reaches your initial account balance, it stops trailing and remains fixed.
How does the Consistency Rule work?
How does the Consistency Rule work?
Consistency measures how much of your Total Closed Profit came from your most profitable trading day.
Consistency = (Best Day Profit ÷ Total Closed Profit) × 100
Stage | Standard | Premium |
Step 1 | <40% | <51% |
Funded | None | <40% |
Only closed trades are included.
If you exceed the applicable limit, the account does not automatically fail. You can continue trading until your Total Closed Profit brings the ratio back below the required limit.
Standard: The Consistency Rule applies during Step 1 only. Once funded, there is no Consistency Rule.
Premium: Once funded, the 40% Consistency Rule is calculated perpetually across all reward cycles and does not reset after each payout. Any profit already withdrawn is deducted from Total Closed Profit, while Best Day Profit remains the highest single trading day of the entire funded period.
