BEST DAY, PROFIT DISTRIBUTION AND PAYOUTS
Prop Firm Consistency Rules
A consistency rule often delays a payout rather than failing the account. More total profit may be required until the best day falls below the allowed share.
Translate the rule into a target: required total profit equals best day divided by the permitted share. Confirm which days and profit period the provider uses.

What you will learn.
- 01FTMO: purchase date changes the denominator
Orders and account merges from 12 October 2026 use net closed profit, including losing days. Earlier orders retain the profitable-day basis. The best day may be at most 50%; exceeding this delays eligibility.
- 02Calculate with the correct base
For an inclusive 50% threshold, the relevant profit must be at least twice the best day. A rule requiring strictly less than 50% needs more than twice that amount. Check the reset period and whether losing days count.
- 03Check the account cohort
Keep the purchase date, any merge date and the rule version with your trading plan. Do not apply a legacy calculator base to a newly purchased program.
