What is 30% Best Day Rule? (Consistency Rule)

The Best Day Rule, also known as the Consistency Rule, is designed to encourage disciplined and stable trading behavior.

It ensures that profits are earned through consistent performance rather than one-time high-risk trades.


How the Best Day Rule Works

To be eligible for a payout, no single trading day can represent more than 30% of your total profits.

This rule applies to all Funded Accounts.

For example:

  • If your total profit is $10,000, the maximum profit from your best day may not exceed $3,000 (30%).

  • If one day’s profit is higher than this limit, the payout will be temporarily delayed until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.


Important Notes

  • Exceeding the Best Day Rule does not breach your account — it only postpones your payout.

  • Once your profit ratio becomes consistent again, you will be fully eligible to request your payout.

  • Attempting to bypass the rule (for example, by splitting one large trade into smaller partial closures or through hedging) is not allowed.

    In such cases, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction for evaluation purposes.


Purpose of the Rule

The Consistency Rule reflects Upcomers’ commitment to responsible and professional trading standards.

It helps ensure that funded traders demonstrate stable performance and risk control — both essential qualities for long-term success.


Consistency rule explained:

Example 1 – Within the rule (allowed) :

Day 1: +2,000 USD

Day 2: +1,500 USD

Day 3: +2,500 USD

Day 4: +2,000 USD

Day 5: +2,000 USD

Total profit: 10,000 USD

Best day: 2,500 USD = 25% of total profit = Rule respected


Example 2 – Breaking the rule (not allowed) :

Day 1: +4,000 USD

Day 2: +1,500 USD

Day 3: +2,000 USD

Day 4: +1,500 USD

Day 5: +1,000 USD

Total profit: 10,000 USD

Best day: 4,000 USD = 40% of total profit → Rule violated


Key point:

No single day’s profit can exceed 30% of the total profit in the payout cycle. If it does, the payout is delayed until further trading balances the ratio.
