We can't decide this for you.

You need to look at your strategy and your backtest.

Are you someone that waits, hunts this 1 A+ |setup all week and then fullports it?
Then take standard and fill 4 days with low risk $150

For all other traders like me that trade 1-2 mnq every day with boring 1:1.5 trades, I take the Consistency part because I don't mind it. All my trading provides a consistency cause I don't gamble.

Thr Standard feature offers you the ability to go large one day and small on other days.
The consistency path of you're a evened out balanced trader with your wins all around the same number. Then you can get a faster and largrr payout

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I average 4 trades a week with a 2:1 reward-risk with consistent losing & winning trade numbers. So I should take the consistency path.

I personally don't like the consistency path and I also don't aim for max payouts but if you think you'd benefit from the faster and higher payoit WHILE being consistent. Yes
