Consistency rule calculator

The rule is one division, and almost nobody does it before requesting a payout. Enter your daily results and this shows where you stand, how much further you have to trade, and the size of the next day that would help rather than hurt.

Losing days count toward nothing and cannot help. They lower the total, which raises your ratio.

The line is the most any single day may contribute at your current total. A day above it is the one holding the payout.

What your next day has to look like

This is the part that surprises people. A day large enough to become your new best day resets the requirement upwards, so trading better can move you further from a payout.

How this is calculated

Compliance is one division: your best single day divided by your total profit, against the firm's cap. The profit still needed is best day ÷ cap − total, because the cap is a share of a total that your next winning day also increases. That is why the useful next session is a moderate one: too small and it barely moves the total, too large and it becomes the new best day and resets the requirement upwards.
