13 programmes, 12 firms, one phrase
Every firm publishes the percentage. 5 of them never say what happens to the money above it.
A consistency rule caps how much of your profit one day or one trade may account for. The 13 programmes here that publish one measure it against different things — total profit, profit made on profitable days, the payout requested, the profit target — so two firms quoting the same percentage are not quoting the same rule. And the percentage is the easy half. The hard half is the verb, and the firms that supply one do not agree.
Profit above the cap can be removed from the account, kept while not counting toward the target, trimmed from that one payout with the account untouched, or turned into a condition on the funded account you have just won. Same phrase, and the difference is whether the money still exists.
Taken off the account
Profit above the cap stops being yours. Two firms state it in those terms.
Applies to the evaluation and the funded account.
A PER-QUESTION PROFIT CAP with no equivalent anywhere else on this site: no more than 3% of the starting balance may be generated from any one question, and profit beyond that is removed.
Applies to the evaluation and the funded account.
A hard profit cap runs alongside the loss caps: "The maximum simulated profit allowed per day and/or per trade is $10,000." Trades breaching it may be closed and the excess removed.
Kept, but it does not help you pass
You keep the money and the excess does not count toward the profit target, so the target takes longer to reach.
Applies to the evaluation only.
Evaluation only: no single day may contribute more than 40% of the total net result; the excess does not count toward the target.
This payout trimmed, account untouched
The request is reduced to satisfy the cap and the account is not failed. The money waits rather than disappearing.
Applies to the funded only.
SOLD AS FOUR PRODUCTS WITH ONE SET OF CAPS. Moneta price this as a two-by-two matrix — a consistency rule of 15% or 20%, and a profit split of 60% or 88% — and the daily and overall limits are identical across all four. The ladder above is the cheapest corner, 15% consistency at a 60% split. At $100,000 the four run $750, $999, $1,099 and $1,450; the dearest buys the looser consistency rule and the larger share, not more room.
Applies to the funded only.
A best-day consistency cap applies at the two largest sizes only — 50% on the $100,000 and $200,000 — and it never breaches the account: "This rule doesn’t breach your account. It only means you need to continue trading so that your new profitable days dilute the impact of your biggest day."
Applies to the funded only.
A profit cap applies to the first three approved payouts: "During the funded stage, a 5% profit cap applies to your first three approved pay-outs. Profits above this limit aren’t withdrawable and will be removed when your account resets to the original balance." A paid Profit Booster raises it to 7.5%.
Applies to the funded only.
A 15% consistency check runs at payout: the best single trading day may account for no more than 15% of the profit behind the request.
A condition attached to the funded account
Checked once, on passing. Nothing is taken; the account you won arrives with a payout condition on it.
Applies to the evaluation only.
No minimum trading days to pass: "Minimum trading days | None to pass." A payout condition can apply if the profit concentration rule is triggered.
A percentage with no verb
The cap is published and what happens to profit above it is not. This is a fact about what the firm publishes rather than a guess at the answer.
Applies to the evaluation only.
Best-day rule: a single trading day may not exceed 50% of the total profit made on profitable days.
Applies to the funded only.
On the funded account: a best-day rule (no day above 40% of total profit) applies to payouts.
Applies to the funded only.
A 25% consistency rule applies on the funded account and to neither assessment phase.
Applies to the funded only.
The funded account is a different product from the challenge: a 20% consistency rule, a 2% floating-loss protection and a five-minute news window all appear only there.
Applies to the funded only.
Consistency on the funded account: no day above 20% of total profit.
One firm publishes both fates, on one programme
DNA Funded's 1 Phase carries two ceilings on the same money and they point opposite ways. Above the 30% daily cap the excess is deducted from the request and you keep it. Above the other one it is not.
“A profit cap applies to the first three approved payouts: "During the funded stage, a 5% profit cap applies to your first three approved pay-outs. Profits above this limit aren’t withdrawable and will be removed when your account resets to the original balance." A paid Profit Booster raises it to 7.5%.”
Only the first of those two is called a consistency rule.
Why the percentage is the easy half
Two firms can publish the same number and be selling different products. A 20% cap that reduces one payout and leaves the account alone costs you time. A 20% cap that removes the excess costs you the money. Nothing on a pricing page distinguishes them, and no comparison anywhere — including every other page on this site — carries the distinction, because it lives in a sentence rather than in a number.
It also sits mostly on the wrong side of the sale. 8 of the 13 caps recorded here apply to the funded account rather than to the evaluation, so the rule usually governs money you have already earned rather than the challenge you are deciding whether to buy. It is not on the page you are reading when you decide.
And at one firm it is the product. Moneta Funded price their Instant Funding as a two-by-two matrix in which the consistency rule is one of the two axes — the dearer corner buys a looser rule and a larger share, not more room to lose.
What this does not measure
- · Firms whose record is silent. A programme with no cap recorded here may publish one on a page not read. Several firms state the absence explicitly — Blueberry’s “Consistency rule | None” — and those are absences; the rest are unknowns.
- · What the percentage is a share of. It is recorded and shown for every row, because a bare “20% consistency rule” is the industry’s own ambiguity: total profit, profitable days, and the payout requested are three different denominators.
- · Contradictions inside a firm. Blueberry publish a 30% funded consistency rule for one plan in the help centre and none for the same plan elsewhere; Maven publish different caps on the paid and promotional versions of one product. Neither is recorded as a cap here, because there is no single figure to record.
- · Any failure probability. None of the arithmetic elsewhere on this site reads this field. A consistency rule changes what your profit is worth, not how likely a losing run is to end the attempt.

Questions
- What is a consistency rule at a prop firm?
- A ceiling on how much of your total profit a single day, trade or position may account for. 13 programmes here publish one, and they measure it against different things — total profit, profit made on profitable days, the payout requested, the profit target — so two firms quoting the same percentage are not quoting the same rule. It exists so that a funded account is not awarded for one outsized trade. What the phrase does not tell you is the consequence, and the firms publishing it do not agree on one.
- What happens to profit above the consistency cap?
- Four different things, in the firms' own words. It can be removed from the account entirely; it can be kept while not counting toward the profit target; it can be trimmed from the payout you requested without failing the account; or it can attach a condition to the funded account at the moment you pass. 5 of the 13 publish the percentage with no statement about the excess at all.
- Does breaking a consistency rule fail the account?
- At the firms here that say, no. OneFunded put it plainly — "This rule doesn't breach your account. It only means you need to continue trading so that your new profitable days dilute the impact of your biggest day." Moneta and DNA Funded record the same shape: the payout is reduced, the account survives. The firms that publish no consequence do not say either way.
- Do all prop firms have a consistency rule?
- No, and several state the absence rather than omitting it — Blueberry Funded publish "Consistency rule | None" on one plan and Maven publish that their prediction-market programmes have none. 8 of the 13 recorded caps apply to the funded account rather than the evaluation, which means the rule most often governs money you have already earned rather than the challenge you are buying.
