Short Answer: No single trading day can represent more than 20%, 30%, or even 15% (depending on your account) of your total profits when you request a payout. This is a soft rule. It delays your payout, but it never breaches your account. Keep trading until the ratio balances out..
This rule is also referred to as the "consistency score," emphasizing its role in promoting steady, repeatable performance.
How It Works
When you request a payout, we look at every trading day in your current payout cycle. We take your most profitable day and divide it by your total profit:
Best Day % = (Your highest single day profit / Your total profit) × 100
If the result is above your limit, you won't be able to request a payout yet. Your account stays fully active. Just keep trading until the ratio balances out. You can track your Best Day percentage in real-time directly in your dashboard. After your first trading day, the consistency score will always show 100%, as that single day represents all of your realized profit. This is normal and will decrease as you complete additional profitable trading days. If your best day profit exceeds your total net profit due to losses on other days, the percentage can go above 100%. This indicates the need for more profitable trading days to balance the ratio.
What's My Best Day Limit?
The percentage depends on your account type:
Account Type | Best Day Limit |
All Classic accounts (Ash, Thunderbolt, Phoenix, Astral, Obsidian, Eon) | 20% |
Oracle (Instant Funding) | 15% |
Vanguard (Instant Funding) | 20% |
Ash Turbo | 16% |
Thunderbolt Turbo | 15% |
Thunderbolt Legacy | 30% |
Phoenix Legacy | 30% |
Astral Legacy | 30% |
Example 1: Rule Respected (20% limit)
Day | Profit | % of Total |
Day 1 | +$1,900 | 19.0% |
Day 2 | +$1,800 | 18.0% |
Day 3 | +$1,700 | 17.0% |
Day 4 | +$1,600 | 16.0% |
Day 5 | +$1,500 | 15.0% |
Day 6 | +$1,500 | 15.0% |
Total | $10,000 |
|
Best day is $1,900 = 19.0% of $10,000. Under 20%. Payout available.
Example 2: Losing Days Make It Worse
This catches many traders off guard. Losing days reduce your total profit, which makes your best day's percentage larger.
Day | Profit | % of Total |
Day 1 | +$3,000 | 75.0% |
Day 2 | -$2,000 |
|
Day 3 | +$1,500 | 37.5% |
Day 4 | +$1,200 | 30.0% |
Day 5 | -$500 |
|
Day 6 | +$800 | 20.0% |
Total | $4,000 |
|
Your winning days add up to $6,500, but after losses your total is only $4,000. Day 1's $3,000 now represents 75% of the total. Payout delayed.
Without the losses, your total would be $6,500 and Day 1 would be 46.2%. Still over the limit, but much closer. Losing days don't help, they hurt. They shrink your total profit while your best day stays the same.
How to Fix a Violated Ratio
Focus on increasing your total profit while keeping daily gains below your current best day. This prevents the numerator (best day profit) from growing faster than the denominator (total profit).
Keep trading. As your total profit grows across more days, the percentage of your best day naturally decreases. You can calculate exactly how much more you need:
Your best day profit / Your Best Day limit = Minimum total profit needed
Example: $3,000 best day with a 20% limit means you need at least $15,000 total profit ($3,000 / 0.20 = $15,000).
When Does It Reset?
This includes resetting the total profit calculation, best day percentage, and all trading day data. Nothing carries over from the previous cycle.
After every successful payout. Your next payout cycle starts fresh. Only new trading days count.
What Is NOT Allowed
Attempting to bypass the Best Day Rule is not permitted and may result in partial payout approval, payout denial, or account suspension. This includes:
Splitting large winning positions into smaller partial closures to spread profit across days
Placing small trades to create artificial trading days and dilute the best day percentage
Hedging to control when profit is realized
Splitting trades across midnight to distribute profit between two calendar days
If detected, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction for evaluation purposes.
Where Does It Apply
The Best Day Rule applies in the funded phase of challenge programs and from the start in instant funding programs. It does not apply during challenge evaluation phases. Some time-limited programs use a different metric called the Best Trade Rule, which limits individual trades rather than trading days. For exact percentages and applicability, refer to your program's rules.
Common Questions
Does it breach my account?
No, never. It's a soft rule. It only delays your payout. Your account stays fully active.
Can I request a payout if I'm over the limit?
No. You need to be at or under your limit first. Keep trading to bring the ratio down.
Do losing days help?
No. They reduce your total profit, which makes the ratio worse. Only profitable trading days help balance it out.
What timezone is used?
UTC. A trading day runs from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC.
I had one amazing day. What now?
Your account is safe. Use the formula: best day profit / your limit = minimum total profit needed. Then keep trading consistently until you reach that number.
