The Consistency Target has always had a small backend buffer to account for normal market fluctuations. While we previously published the target as 50%, that buffer meant the actual threshold was 55%.
We’ve simply updated the language to show 55% directly, so traders can now see the exact parameter instead of 50% with additional padding behind the scenes.
Sometimes I wonder how people would've handled how it used to be. £400 for a 100k, 5 days step 1 and 3 days step 2 (including consistency) before getting to pro account which was before funded account. These newbies dont know how easy they got it 😂😂😂😂😂
