The 15% Consistency Rule is a key performance metric we use to ensure our funded traders are earning profits through a stable and consistent strategy, rather than from a single "lucky" or high-risk trading day.

We are looking to partner with traders who can demonstrate steady, long-term profitability. This rule is designed to reward that skill.

Specifically, this rule applies to new Ignite accounts opened under the updated terms. Existing accounts that use the ESS rule remain unchanged and cannot transition to this new rule.

The Rule & How It's Calculated

The rule is simple: Your single best trading day's profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit.

At the moment you request a payout, we use the following formula to check your score:

Your Consistency Score = (Best Day's Profit ÷ Total Profit) x 100

To be eligible for a payout, your Consistency Score must be 15% or less.

Scenario 1: PASS

• You reach a Total Profit of $3,000.

• You check your trading log, and your Best Day's Profit was $400.

• Calculation: ($400 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 13.3%

• Result: ✅ PASS. Your score of 13.3% is below the 15% limit, and you are eligible for a payout (assuming all other rules are met).

Scenario 2: FAIL

• You reach a Total Profit of $3,000.

• You check your trading log, and your Best Day's Profit was $2,000.

• Calculation: ($2,000 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 66.7%

• Result: ❌ FAIL. Your score of 66.7% is much higher than the 15% limit. Your payout request will be denied until your score is fixed.

"I Failed! How Do I Fix My High Score?

If your score is too high, you don't need to panic or reset your account. The solution is simply to continue trading profitably to increase your "Total Profit" denominator.

Your one big day has set a new, higher profit target for you. To find your new target, use this formula:

Your New Target Profit = (Your Best Day's Profit ÷ 0.15)

Key Things to Remember

It's a Payout Rule: This rule does not cause a breach. It is only checked when you request a withdrawal.

1. It Encourages Longevity: The best way to pass is to aim for smaller, consistent daily wins rather than trying to hit your entire target in one or two days.

2. It Resets: The Consistency Score calculation resets to zero after every successful payout.

Payout Rules

First Payout

Available once you have achieved a 5% profit and met the 15% consistency rule.

No minimum trading day requirement.

Subsequent Payouts

Each payout requires another 5% profit relative to the balance after the last payout.

• 25K = $500

• 50K = $1,000

• 100K = $1,500

• 150k = $2,000

Payout Options

You can request a payout as soon as you reach your consistency and profit target.

Profit Split

Ignite accounts feature a 90/10 profit split. You keep 90% of your payout amount, while the remaining 10% stays with the firm.

Minimum payout amount

$250 is the minimum payout which can be requested on Ignite accounts.

Drawdown Lock

Once your profits on your Ignite account reach the drawdown amount plus $100, your trailing drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance and no longer follows account growth. This provides more stability and reduces the risk of losing access to the account as you scale.

Transition to Live Trading

After three successful Ignite payouts from a single account, your trading performance will be reviewed by our Risk Team.

At that time, the risk team may keep you in the sim-funded environment for further review or be transitioned to a live account.

When moving to Live, you will begin with one (1) Live Account. Any additional accounts will be closed.

Copy Trading Rules

Violating copy trading or group trading policies may result in account termination and forfeiture of payouts.

For the full policy, see our Copy & Group Trading Rules FAQ.

Common Questions

Can I copy trade Ignite with other plan types?

No. Copy trading is allowed only between Ignite accounts of the same size.

How is the consistency rule calculated?

The consistency rule means that no single trading day should represent more than 15% of your total profit. This ensures steady, sustainable results before payouts.

This account is designed to reward consistent, profitable traders. To be eligible to request a payout, you must meet three key requirements.

Here is a simple breakdown of each rule:

1. 5% Profit Target

You must reach a 5% profit target to be eligible for each payout. How this target is calculated changes slightly after your first withdrawal.

For Your First Payout: The target is 5% of your initial account balance.

• Example (50k Account):

  • Initial Balance: $50,000

  • 5% Profit Target: $2,500

  • Target Balance for Payout: $52,500

For Subsequent Payouts: The target is 5% on top of your new balance after your previous payout is deducted.

• Example (Continuing from above):

  • You reach $52,500 and request a $1,000 payout.

  • Your new post-payout balance is: $51,500

  • Your new 5% profit target is calculated from this balance: ($51,500 * 0.05) = $2,575

  • Target Balance for 2nd Payout: $51,500 + $2,575 = $54,075

    The minimum payout is $250 on all account sizes and payout cycles.

2. 15% Consistency Rule

This is the most important rule for managing your risk. It ensures that your profits are earned steadily, rather than from a single lucky day.

The Rule: Your single best trading day's profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit at the time of your payout request.

The Formula: (Best Day's Profit / Total Profit) * 100 = Your Consistency Score

"I failed... how do I fix my score?"

If your best day is too high, you must "fix" your score by accumulating more profits. You need to make that best day equal 15% of a new, larger total profit.

• Using Example 2:

  • Your best day is $1,000.

  • To find the profit target you need: $1,000 ÷ 0.15 = $6,667

  • You must grow your total profit to $6,667 (without having another day better than $1,000) to meet the 15% rule.
