The 90% Rule [Old Accounts Only]
Legacy rule for accounts purchased before 16 October 2025 — no single trade idea may contribute more than 90% of your total profit.
ℹ️ The 90% Rule applies only to accounts purchased before 16 October 2025. For newer accounts, this has been replaced by the Consistency Score.
The 90% Rule ensures that your trading performance reflects multiple profitable decisions rather than a single dominant winning trade. It looks at where your profit came from — not the size of your positions — to assess your skill, consistency, and risk management.
Under this rule, no single trade idea can contribute more than 90% of your total profit during a challenge stage or payout period.
Where It Applies
If your largest trade idea accounts for more than 90% of your profit, your payout request will be rejected, and you must continue trading until the requirement is met. On challenge accounts, the stage will be reset.
ℹ️ Although similar to a Consistency Score, this rule is far more relaxed — the requirement can often be met with just two trades on the same day.
How to Calculate What You Need
To calculate the additional profit needed to bring your largest trade idea below 90% of your total profit, use:
(Largest Trade Idea ÷ 0.9) − Total Profit = Additional Profit NeededExamples
Example 1 — Challenge passed with a single trade
You have a $100,000 1-Stage challenge with a 9% profit target ($9,000), and you reach it with a single trade idea.
You must generate an additional $1,000 profit from other trade ideas before your payout can be approved. No profit is forfeited.
Example 2 — Funded account in drawdown
You have a $100,000 Simulated Funded Account. You were in 1% drawdown, then reached 3% total profit ($3,000) after one winning trade idea of $4,000.
Example 3 — Multiple trades, one dominant
You have a $100,000 account with three trade ideas totalling $6,000 profit:
