TakeProfit Trader Consistency Rule, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-13 · official source
TakeProfit Trader caps your best single day at 50% of total profit during the evaluation. One huge day doesn't fail you — it just doesn't count fully until you dilute it with more trading days.
What the rule actually blocks
The math: if your best day is $2,000 and the cap is 50%, you need total profit of at least $4,000 before that day stops being "too big". You don't lose the money — you keep trading (or keep waiting) until the ratio clears.
The rule applies on the Test only — once you're funded (PRO), it's dropped entirely.
| Phase | Best-day cap |
|---|---|
| Evaluation | ≤ 50% of total profit |
| PRO (Funded) | None |
How traders actually breach it
The trap isn't breaking the rule — it's planning a payout around a P&L number the rule won't release yet. Traders count the money before checking the best-day ratio.
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 TakeProfit Trader rule changes
2026-07-13 — PRO (funded) rules primary-sourced: intraday trailing drawdown off your peak balance including unrealized gains, trailing up until it reaches your starting balance then locking; immediate liquidation if balance touches the minimum. Added the weekly trading requirement (1 day/week), the no-counter-positions and no-bots rules, and the prohibited-news windows (FOMC / NFP / CPI + crude inventories / bond auctions). The $25K PRO drawdown ($1,500) is confirmed; the larger-size drawdowns remain on the prior encode.
2026-07-07 — Consistency clarification: exceeding the 50% best-day share does NOT fail the Test — TakeProfit Trader raises your required profit until your best day is back under 50% of total. Our tracker now grades it as a pass-gate, never a breach.
FAQ
What is the TakeProfit Trader consistency rule?
Your best single day can't exceed 50% of your total profit during the evaluation. It delays payouts/passing rather than failing the account.
Does breaking the consistency rule fail my TakeProfit Trader account?
No — it's not a breach. It blocks the pass/payout until more trading days dilute the oversized day below the cap.
