Consistency Rule Calculator
Several futures prop firms — Bulenox, Apex, Tradeify and others — enforce a "consistency rule" that denies a payout if any single trading day made up too much of your total profit. This is the rule that catches profitable traders the most often. Check your distribution before requesting a payout.

List every trading day with a profit. Skip losing days and break-even days — those don't count toward consistency.
How the consistency rule actually works
At payout time, the firm divides your largest profitable day by your total profit. If that ratio exceeds the threshold (typically 40%), the payout is denied — not because you broke a rule mid-trade, but because your profit is "too concentrated." The fix is either to keep trading until your average day catches up, or to size down on your big days from the start.
Different firms calculate this differently — some use only profitable days, some include losing days as negative numbers, some only count days above a minimum threshold. Always check your specific firm's exact formula before relying on this calculator for a real payout decision.
