The Consistency Rule Explained
Learn how Wildfunded’s consistency rule works across Challenge, Funded and Direct accounts, and how to keep your profits eligible for payout.
What Is the Consistency Rule?
The consistency rule measures how much of your total profit was generated on your single best trading day.
Its purpose is to reward controlled and repeatable trading performance instead of allowing one unusually large day to determine the entire result.
Exceeding the consistency limit does not automatically mean that your account has failed. You normally need to continue trading and increase your total profits until your best day falls within the permitted percentage.
Consistency by Account Type
The permitted percentage depends on the Wildfunded program and the stage of the account.
During the Challenge, your best trading day cannot represent more than 50% of your total profits.
On Funded accounts, your best trading day cannot represent more than 40% of your total profits.
On Direct accounts, your best trading day cannot represent more than 25% of your total profits.
The Consistency Formula
The calculation is always the same. Only the maximum permitted percentage changes according to the account type.
How the Percentage Changes by Program
Challenge Example
If your best day is $1,500 and your total profit is $3,000, your consistency is 50%.
$1,500 ÷ $3,000 = 50%This meets the Challenge consistency requirement.
Funded Example
If your best day is $1,200 and your total profit is $3,000, your consistency is 40%.
$1,200 ÷ $3,000 = 40%This meets the Funded account consistency requirement.
Direct Example
If your best day is $1,000 and your total profit is $4,000, your consistency is 25%.
$1,000 ÷ $4,000 = 25%This meets the Direct account consistency requirement.
If You Exceed the Limit
Continue trading and increase your total profits until the best day represents no more than the percentage permitted for your account.
How to Reduce Your Consistency Percentage
Divide your best day by the permitted decimal for your account to calculate the total profit required.
| Account Type | Rule | Target Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Challenge | 50% | Best Day ÷ 0.50 |
| Funded | 40% | Best Day ÷ 0.40 |
| Direct | 25% | Best Day ÷ 0.25 |
If your best day is $1,600 on a Funded account, your total profits must reach $4,000: $1,600 ÷ 0.40 = $4,000.
Why Wildfunded Uses This Rule
Risk Control
A balanced profit distribution usually reflects better position sizing, controlled leverage and more disciplined execution.
Repeatable Performance
The rule encourages traders to demonstrate a process that can be repeated over time instead of relying on one exceptional day.
