The exact rules, sizing and daily routine to pass — and keep — a funded account, including how to trade around consistency rules. Forex and Futures editions, free.
Firms measure and enforce consistency differently (at payout request, at pass, or continuously) and rules change often. Verified August 2026 — always confirm your firm’s exact wording.
A consistency rule says your best single day can’t be too large a share of your profit — usually 20% to 50%. Firms use it to filter out lottery-ticket trading: one lucky oversized day followed by nothing. The trap is that most traders discover the rule at the moment their payout is denied, with a big green day already on the books.
The math has two directions, and this calculator does both. Looking backward: your best day divided by your total profit gives your consistency percentage — and if it’s over the cap, the only legal fix is more profit, never bigger trades. The unlock number is exact: best day ÷ cap. Looking forward: for any cap there’s a minimum number of trading days that can ever satisfy it — a 40% cap can’t mathematically be passed in fewer than three days, a 30% cap needs four — and a per-day ceiling that keeps you safe forever: cap × total ÷ (1 − cap).
Most firms (MyFundedFutures, FundedNext, Bulenox, E8 and others) measure your best day against your total profit — which means the rule can always be fixed by trading more steady days. Topstep’s Combine is different: it measures against the profit target, and exceeding it doesn’t block you — it raises your target to best day ÷ 50%. Same phrase, completely different math, and this calculator models both correctly.
A limit on how much of your profit can come from a single trading day — typically 20–50% depending on the firm and plan. If your best day exceeds the cap, payouts (or passing) are paused until additional profit dilutes that day below the threshold. It rewards repeatable trading and punishes one-shot gambles.
Only one way: more profit on other days. The exact unlock number is your best day divided by the cap — e.g. a $1,200 best day under a 40% rule needs $3,000 total profit before you’re clear. Never try to fix it with a bigger day; that raises the requirement further.
To stay permanently safe under a total-profit cap, keep any new day below cap × current total ÷ (1 − cap). Under a 40% rule with $2,000 banked, that’s $1,333. The calculator computes your live number, and the planner shows the smallest number of equal days that can ever satisfy your cap.
Yes — the Combine measures your best day against the profit target, not total profit, and breaching doesn’t block you: it raises your target to best day ÷ 50%. A $1,800 day on a $3,000-target account simply moves your target to $3,600. The calculator switches to this logic when you select the target basis.
