Consistency

The Trading Pit consistency rule, worked out

CFD Prime asks for a consistency rule only on the larger one-phase accounts; CFD Instant by size; Futures Prime in the Challenge only; Futures Instant on every payout.

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.
