Consistency

IQ Capital consistency rule, worked out

Core challenges have no consistency rule; every funded and instant account limits the best day to a share of profit, and the Rapid challenges apply one too.

Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.

Check your own days in the consistency calculator · Plan your risk on this account in the risk planner
