TL;DR: The 40% Consistency Rule ensures your trading is stable and repeatable. No single trading day's profit cannot exceed 40% of your total profit target. If it does, your account is not breached — instead, your total profit target automatically increases to bring that day back within the 40% ratio.
What is the 40% Consistency Rule?
The rule requires that no single trading day's profit does not make up more than 40% of your overall profit target. It is designed to encourage steady, disciplined trading habits.
Does the consistency rule apply to both the Challenge Phase and the FundedNext Phase?
There is a consistency rule for the FNL: 001 NO DLL 1-Step CFDs 50K Challenge Phase. However, there is no consistency rule for the FNL: 001 NO DLL 1-Step CFDs 50K FundedNext Phase .
How is the daily profit limit calculated?
On a standard $50,000 account, your initial profit target is $3,000.
To find your daily profit limit, multiply the target by 40%.
Daily Profit Limit: $3,000 x 40% = $1,200.
As long as your daily profits stay at or below $1,200, your account maintains the consistency rule and your target stays at $3,000.
What happens if I make more than required profit in a single day?
If you make a larger profit than the required profit, you do not fail the Challenge Phase. Instead, your overall profit target scales up to keep that large trading day mathematically aligned with the 40% rule.
Your new required target is calculated by dividing your highest profit day by 40% ($0.40).
Examples of Target Adjustments
Here is how your total profit target shifts if you experience multiple high-profit days:
Scenario | Single-Day Profit | Target Adjustment Formula | New Total Profit Target |
Baseline | Up to $1,200 | No adjustment needed | $3,000 |
First Day
(Profit limit: $1200)
| $1,400 | $1,400 divided by 40% | $3,500 |
Second Day
(Profit limit: $3500 x 40% = $1400)
| $1,450 | $1,450 divided by 40% | $3,625 |
Key Takeaway
If your profit limit increases, you simply need to keep trading and accumulating smaller, consistent profitable days until your total net profit reaches the new adjusted profit target. Your account stays open and active the entire time.
