What a consistency rule actually does.
Many firms run a consistency rule that caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day or trade — a typical version disqualifies a payout if one day produced more than, say, 30-40% of your total profit. The stated goal is to filter out traders who got lucky once and can't repeat it. The side effect is that it also penalises a trader whose edge is genuinely lumpy: a breakout strategy, a news-event play, a swing position that ran for days. None of that is luck — it's a strategy that doesn't produce evenly-sized wins, and a consistency rule punishes it identically to a fluke.
Our policy, in one paragraph.
MixFunded does not apply a consistency rule to any program — 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant Funded, or Pay After Passing. Every dollar of net closed profit is payable so long as the daily and max drawdown floors hold and the 3 trading-day minimum is met. If your best day produced 90% of your evaluation target, that's a pass, not a red flag.
Why we don't need one.
A consistency rule is often used as a backstop against traders who take reckless, oversized positions and get bailed out by variance. We already control that risk directly, through drawdown. Daily drawdown resets at 00:00 UTC and caps how much you can lose in a single day — typically 4% on standard programs, 3% on PAPP. Max drawdown trails your highest closed-equity peak and never loosens. A trader who oversizes to chase a lucky day still has to survive those two floors. The floors do the job a consistency rule is meant to do, without also punishing a trader whose real edge is a big move.
What this means for strategy.
If your system is naturally lumpy — a handful of large winners and mostly small losers or scratches — you're not fighting the rulebook here the way you might elsewhere. Size each trade against the daily drawdown floor, not against an artificial cap on how much one trade is allowed to contribute. Use the drawdown simulator and position sizer to check a sequence of trades against both floors before you commit size.
News trading and EAs are also allowed on every program, which matters here: some of the largest single-day moves come from scheduled news events, and a firm that bans news trading while running a consistency rule is effectively banning the exact trades most likely to trigger it.
What still applies.
Removing the consistency rule doesn't remove the rest of the rulebook. Daily and max drawdown are non-negotiable, the 3 trading-day minimum still applies before a pass or a payout request, and the banned-strategy list (latency arbitrage, group hedging across accounts) still stands. See the full rulebook for every detail.
