TLDR: In the Legacy Challenge, if you exceed the 40% Consistency Rule (no single day’s profit may exceed 40% of the total profit target), your profit target is increased to reflect the highest daily profit you made. This makes passing the Challenge more difficult. The Rapid Challenge does not enforce the Consistency Rule.
The Consistency Rule applies only in the Legacy Challenge. It ensures that profits are achieved steadily and systematically, without relying on one or two oversized trades.
If the Consistency Rule is broken, your profit target will be adjusted upward, making the Challenge harder to pass. In contrast, the Rapid Challenge has no Consistency Rule.
What is the FundedNext Futures Consistency Rule?
The consistency rule states that no single day's profit should exceed 40% of the total profit target in the Legacy Challenge. If this limit is surpassed, the trader will be required to achieve a higher total profit to pass the Challenge. However, there are no consistency rules in the FundedNext Futures Rapid Challenge.
Maintaining the Consistency Rule
For example, a trader follows the 40% Consistency rule in the $50K Futures Legacy Challenge with a $2,500 profit target. So, the daily consistency calculation would be $1,000 (40% of $2,500).
Day | Profit Made | Cumulative Profit | Within Rule? |
Day 1 | $700 | $700 | ✅ Yes |
Day 2 | $600 | $1,300 | ✅ Yes |
Day 3 | $500 | $1,800 | ✅ Yes |
Day 4 | $400 | $2,200 | ✅ Yes |
Day 5 | $300 | $2,500 | ✅ Yes |
In this case, the trader never exceeded $1,000 in a single day, keeping the profit target at $2,500 and passing the Challenge smoothly.
What happens if I exceed the 40% Consistency Rule in the Legacy Challenge?
In the given example:
🔹 $50K Challenge Account
🔹 Initial profit target: $2,500
🔹 Maximum allowable profit per trade: $1,000 (40% of the target profit)
Day | Profit Made | Cumulative Profit | Within Rule? | Required Total Profit |
Day 1 | $900 | $900 | ✅ Yes | - |
Day 2 | $800 | $1,700 | ✅ Yes | - |
Day 3 | $1,500 | $3,200 | ❌ No | $3,750 |
On Day 3, the trader exceeded the Consistency Rule by making a profit that was higher than allowed. As a result, the new required total profit has been adjusted to ensure consistency in future trades.
How the New Required Total Profit is Calculated:
It is determined using the formula: 1500 / 40% = 3750
Here, $1,500 (the highest profit made in violation) is divided by 40%, which sets the required profit at $3,750.
Applying the Consistency Rule Moving Forward:
The trader must not exceed 40% of $3,750 in any single day.
This means the maximum allowable profit is: 3,750 × 40% = 1,500
Hence, from Day 4 onward, the trader’s maximum allowable profit per day will be $1,500 to remain within the Consistency Rule.
This adjustment helps maintain consistent and controlled trading, encouraging sustainable growth and rewarding systematic performance.
How to Avoid Exceeding the Consistency Rule
Spread profits steady over multiple days.
Maintain consistent trading habits to avoid large profit spikes.
Monitor your dashboard regularly to keep track of the highest daily profit and the required total profit. This ensures that you stay within the set limits and avoid breaching the consistency rule.
By following these guidelines, traders can stay within the rules, avoid unnecessary profit target increases, and smoothly complete the FundedNext Futures Challenge.
