Consistency Rule

This rule introduces consistency criteria in both profit generation and position sizing to ensure a stable and professional trading approach within FXRK funded accounts.

What Consistency Means at FXRK

Consistency is one of the key principles of the FXRK evaluation model.

The objective is not to identify isolated trades with exceptional results, but traders capable of generating profits in a stable, controlled, and potentially replicable way over time.

For this reason, funded accounts include consistency mechanisms designed to evaluate whether a trader’s performance depends excessively on a single trade and whether profits are distributed in a balanced manner.

These rules do not limit a trader’s strategy, but they do establish boundaries that prevent results from depending on isolated events or disproportionate position sizes.

Consistency in Profit Generation

In funded accounts under the One-Step and Two-Steps programs, the profit generated by a single trade cannot exceed 40% of the total profit obtained during the payout cycle.

For the purposes of this rule, multiple positions opened simultaneously shall be considered a single trade.

The purpose of this rule is to prevent a payout from being achieved almost entirely through one exceptional trade and to ensure that profits reflect a consistent trading approach.

Practical Example

Assume a funded account has generated a total profit of 10,000 USD during the payout cycle.

In this case:

The maximum profit allowed from a single trade would be 4,000 USD.

This represents 40% of the total profit.

If a single trade generates more than this amount, the account may be considered non-compliant with the consistency requirement for payout eligibility.

Consistency Rule for Instant Accounts

For Instant accounts, the rule is stricter.

The profit generated by a single trade cannot exceed 25% of the total profit generated during the payout cycle.

For the purposes of this rule, multiple positions opened simultaneously shall be considered a single trade.

Consistency in Position Sizing

In addition to profit consistency, FXRK also applies a consistency rule regarding position size.

The lot size used for each asset must remain within a reasonable range during the payout evaluation period.

This range is calculated based on the average position size used for that specific asset.

Each position should remain within the following range:

At least half of the average lot size used on that asset

Up to twice the average lot size used on that asset

Practical Example

Assume that during the payout cycle a trader uses an average position size of 2 lots when trading EURUSD.

In this case, positions in that asset should generally remain within the following range:

Indicative minimum size: 1 lot

Indicative maximum size: 4 lots

Moderate variations are normal within a strategy, but extreme or isolated changes in position size may indicate inconsistent trading behavior.

Why This Rule Exists

These rules reflect standards commonly used across the prop trading industry.

Their objective is to ensure that a trader’s results can be considered:

Stable

Sustainable

Potentially replicable

within the FXRK evaluation model.

When most of the profit comes from a single trade, it becomes difficult to evaluate whether the trading strategy can produce consistent results over time.

A balanced profit distribution across multiple trades provides a clearer view of trading discipline and risk management.

Strategies based on a single extraordinary trade or on extreme exposure changes make it difficult to properly evaluate a trader’s risk profile.

Final Recommendation

Before requesting a payout, review how your profits are distributed across trades during the payout cycle and ensure your position sizes remain consistent.

Ensuring that no single trade represents a disproportionate share of the total profit helps maintain compliance with the consistency rule and supports a stable trading approach within the FXRK program.

A balanced trading approach, where profits are distributed across multiple trades and position sizes remain coherent, helps ensure your performance can be properly evaluated within the FXRK program.

Trading with discipline, sound risk management, and consistent execution is the best way to maintain your funded account and progress within the FXRK ecosystem.
