Prop firm consistency rule calculator

Many prop firms say no single day may make more than a set share of your total profit (for example 20% or 40%). Enter your best day and your total profit, or paste your daily results, and see if you pass and how much more profit you need if you do not.

How to use it

Look up your firm's consistency limit (the largest share of profit one day may make).
Enter your best day and your total profit, or paste your daily results from your trade history.
Pick how your firm counts total profit: net of all days, or winning days only.
If you do not pass, the table shows the total profit you need at each common limit without a bigger best day.

How it works

Daily floor

Start-of-day value minus the daily limit. If equity touches it, the day's rule is broken.

Max floor

Account size minus the max loss (static), or your highest value minus the max loss (trailing).

Room left

Equity now minus the higher of the two floors. Open floating loss counts, because the check uses equity.

Why EAs fail challenges

A grid or martingale EA can sit on a large open loss for hours. Because the limits are checked on equity, the challenge can fail while no trade is closed. The grid calculator shows how deep that open loss can go, and the prop check tests a full record against your firm's rules. To test an MT5 report or CSV day by day against FTMO rules, use the prop rule check.

Questions

What is the difference between static and trailing max loss?

Static: the lowest allowed equity stays at account size minus the max loss. Trailing: the lowest allowed equity moves up as your balance or equity makes new highs. Many trailing rules stop moving once the floor reaches the starting account size. Check your firm's own rules.

Is the daily loss counted from balance or equity?

It depends on the firm. Some use the balance at the start of the day, some the equity, some the higher of the two. Pick the option that matches your rules.

Does open floating loss count?

With most rules, yes: the check uses equity, which includes open trades. That is why a grid or martingale EA can break a daily limit before any trade is closed.

What is a consistency rule in a prop firm?

A rule that no single trading day may make more than a set share of your total profit, for example 20%, 30% or 40%. If your best day is too big, you usually need more total profit (from other days) before you can pass or ask for a payout. Each firm words it differently.
