Elite Trader Funding Consistency Rule, Explained

What the rule actually blocks

Across Elite Trader Funding's evaluation phases there's no best-day cap — the profit target is the only performance bar. Consistency still matters indirectly: the trailing intraday (follows your live peak, open profit included) drawdown punishes the boom-bust style a consistency rule would have blocked.

How traders actually breach it

With no cap, the temptation is one oversized swing at the target. The drawdown line is what usually ends that story.

TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.

Recent Elite Trader Funding rule changes

2026-07-15 — 1-Step lock trigger precision fix: ETF's trailing lock engages on REALIZED profits only (once you build max drawdown + $100 in realized profits), so TradersGuild's engine no longer lets a logged unrealized intraday peak engage the lock early — which could pin the line at start+$100 too soon and overstate room. The trailing line itself still follows the unrealized peak, exactly as ETF computes it.

2026-07-09 — Added — 1-Step: intraday trailing drawdown that locks at start+$100, no daily loss limit, 5 minimum trading days.
