Consistency calculator
Enter your daily results and see whether your best day meets the consistency rule – by the firm's formula, not a rule of thumb.
"50%" does not mean the same everywhere. What counts is what the best day is divided by.
Not met: best day 54.17 % of the base, allowed at most 50 %. Missing: US$400.00.
The rule
146 consistency rules from 33 firms in our data – or your own. Every field stays editable.
Losing days lower the base and raise the share.
Optional: shows how much profit the target and the rule need together.

Consistency rules explained: the formulas with worked examples and sources
Note: A calculation aid using your own assumptions. Not investment advice and not a forecast of success: simulated profits are not income, and most challenges are not passed. The firm's rules that actually apply to your account govern.
How this is calculated
Five formulas
Best day ÷ total profit: losing days lower the base and push the share up. Best day ÷ sum of winning days: losing days do not count. Best day ÷ profit target: the base is fixed, more profit changes nothing. Best day ÷ profit since the last payout: like total profit, but only over the days since the last payout. Largest day ÷ sum of all days without sign: this is how City Traders Imperium describes its consistency score; a large losing day counts like a large winning day.
What is still missing
If the share is above the limit, your best day needs a larger base: best day ÷ limit. The difference to your current base is the missing profit, made with further days no larger than your best one. The number of days assumes your average so far (base ÷ trading days). It is arithmetic with your numbers, not a forecast.
Exactly on the limit
Some firms write "at most", others "below". With "at most 40%" exactly 40% is enough, with "below 50%" it is not. Set the field "Exactly on the limit" the way the firm words it. The comparison is not rounded to whole percent; amounts you need are rounded to the cent so that they are always enough.
The consequence
Whether a share above the limit ends the account, holds back the payout or lets you keep trading is stated for every rule from our data, with its date and source. The firm's own wording governs; the summary here does not replace it.
