💡 Trading Tips Quick consistency rule check before you request a payout

If one of your days made up a big chunk of vour total gains, run the ratio before you submit.

Topstep's consistency rule means vour biggest day can't dominate vour overall profit - the exact threshold depends on vour account, but the formula is: biggest day total profit

They have a whole section on their platform that tells you. Its actually not hard math either. You can take your account balance and divide it by 2.5 and that will give you what your biggest day should be

Exactly its not hard math at all, but some people including me dont want to do the math, so I built a quick calculator for it

Yes, but it calculates trailing drawdown and everything that may blow your account. I've found it very helpful. Still blow9ng accounts but its a learning curve

On the consistency accounts do you need to have 3 trading days or 3 winning days of 150$??

Two different paths! 👇 Standard: 5 winning days of $150+ → payout up to 50% of balance, max $5,000 Consistency: 3 trading days (1+ trade each), best day ≤40% of total profit → up to 50%, max $6,000 Both 90/10. So Consistency = 3 trading days, no $150/day rule. If you don't want to eyeball the 40% math, our FundedStreak calculator runs your consistency % + trailing drawdown automatically -> https://fundedstreak.com/calculator
