What is a consistency rule and when does it apply?

The 50% Consistency Rule ensures that your performance is stable and not dependent on large trades. To pass this rule, your trades should not make up more than 50% of your total realized profit in a single trading day. This applies across both the Trading Challenge and the Pivex Funded Stage (Funded Trader Stage) and is checked when reviewing accounts for upgrades or payouts.

When does it apply?

The rule is active throughout your time at Pivex Funded, including during the Challenge and the Traders Stage. Most importantly, it is reviewed before account upgrades and payout approvals. It helps ensure traders are demonstrating repeatable skill, not one-time luck.

Daily Profit Consistency Rule:

If any single trade in one trading day generate a profit that exceeds 50% of your total account's profits, your account will not be eligible for an upgrade to the Funded Trader Stage, even if all other Challenge objectives are met.

Example:
If your profit is $1000 for the given day and one trade generates more than $500 in profit, this would exceed the 50% daily consistency threshold. In this case, the account would not qualify for an upgrade to the Funded Trader Stage, regardless of total profitability.

Why is this rule important?

The purpose of the rule is to promote consistent and responsible trading behavior. Traders who rely on one high-risk or lucky trade might not be able to repeat that performance. Pivex Funded wants to fund traders who can manage risk, demonstrate a stable strategy, and deliver results over time.

What happens if you exceed the limit?

If you breach the rule, you won’t be disqualified, but you will need to continue trading until your performance becomes more balanced. You’ll need to generate more profits from other trades so that your largest trade makes up 50% or less of your total profits for the day. Until this happens, you won’t be eligible for an upgrade or to request a payout.

Summary

The 50% Consistency Rule encourages traders to show real, repeatable skill. It’s not enough to make one large winning trade — you need to prove you can do it steadily. Keep your trading disciplined, and if one trade puts you over the limit, keep working until your results even out.

Example: Consistent vs. Inconsistent Traders

Here’s an example comparing three traders’ approaches over 10 days:

• Trader A (Consistent): Trader A maintains consistent profits each day, with small, steady gains over time. This consistent approach is key to success in the Pivex Funded stage (Funded Trader stage).
• Trader B (High-Risk): Trader B shows high profits on some days but also faces large losses on others, which is characteristic of high-risk behavior. This inconsistency makes it difficult to predict long-term performance and would likely violate the Consistency Rule.
• Trader C (Inconsistent): Trader C experiences frequent fluctuations in profit and loss, making their performance hard to rely on. This inconsistency can hinder progress and is not aligned with the Consistency Rule.

In the Pivex Funded Trader's Stage, your ability to earn real payouts is directly tied to consistent performance. Trader A exemplifies how steady, incremental profits lead to sustained payouts. On the other hand, Trader B and Trader C demonstrate how large swings in performance and relying on single large trades could jeopardize long-term success.

The Key Takeaway:

To qualify for consistent payouts and maintain your Pivex Funded stage (Funded Trader stage) account, focus on consistency. Plan your trades, follow your strategy, and avoid making risky, one-off trades. Ensure that total trades does not account for more than 50% of your total profits. Remember, long-term profitability is the goal, and Pivex Funded is here to support you in achieving that!
