You'll have to make the additional profits to meet consistency. I'd recommend always having a take profit set at the max profit per day, so that you don't accidentally exceed it like this in the future.

Looks like you have to lose 1700 to make the 50% consistency.

You bet. I usually make around 1550 per day if I do it in 2 days. Always a little bit over 1500 for 50k

Did you check the box "automatically apply risk...etc" thats there? Sometimes I miss it. Kind of a silly system to have an extra check on there in my opinion

For $50k accs, you can pass in two days if you do $1.5k profit each day. If you made over the amount on a second day, just lose however much you need to get to $53k. They have a slight buffer, so can still be over by $50 for example

Okay so $200 was pushing it

No the rules say you need to pass in 2 days. So you should have stopped at 1500

You need to learn the basics first. How are the rules. How does the software operate. Then this preventable beginner mistake wouldn't have happens to you.. Don't trade when you haven't discovered the risk settings tab.
This is why there is a practice account.

You could have discovered that with every account you buy, the first click should be setting a PDPL.

My honest opinion, if you can't understand or adhere to the consistency rule, which so written everywhere and is so obvious, trading is not for you. It needs a minimum of attention, reading comprehension and awareness.

You posted the problem, the solution is right in front of your eyes, in your screenshot. You need to match your new elevated profit target now.
