  • For 1-step Nitro X accounts, there’s a consistency rule that applies Simulated Funded Phase

    Why this Rule?

    Funded Trader Markets’ Consistency Rule promotes steady profit growth and helps traders avoid emotional trading.

    Important Details About the Consistency Rule For 1-step Nitro X Accounts

    In the Challenge Phase; there is no consistency rule requirement.

    In the Simulated Funded Phase; you should not have made more than 25% of the total profit in one day.

    If a single day’s profit is more than 25% of your total profit in the Simulated Funded Phase, you have to continue trading until there isn’t a day with more than the above said maximum.

    When is the Consistency Rule Required?

    For 1-step Nitro X accounts, it applies to only the Simulated Funded Phase

    Calculation

    [Best Day % of Total Profit] = [Best Day Profit] ÷ [Overall Profit] * 100

    Best Day Profit means the highest single day profit

    Single Day’s Profit = Balance at 5pm EST Today – Balance at 5pm EST Yesterday

    Example (1-step Nitro X Account – Simulated Funded Phase)

    If you made a total profit of $4,000 in the Simulated Funded Phase,

    To be eligible for withdrawal, there should not have been a single day with more than 25% of $4,000 (= $1,000).

    If there is a single day with more than 25% of total profit, then you have to keep on trading until the best day profit is less than 25% of the total profit.

  • The Overall Drawdown Limit for the Instant Funding Account is 5%.

    Key Points to Understand:

    • Trailing Overall Drawdown: The Overall Drawdown is calculated based on your account’s Highest Balance (Maximum Balance Watermark) and does not reset daily at 5 PM EST. It consistently remains at 5% of the INITIAL BALANCE from the peak balance.

    Example 1:
    Start of Day 1:
    Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
    Initial Overall Drawdown: 5% of $100,000, which means the stop-out limit is set at $95,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

    During Day 1:
    New Balance: $103,000
    Overall Drawdown: $103,000- $5,000 = $98,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.


    Day 2:
    Starting Balance/Equity: $101,000
    Allowed Overall Drawdown: The stop-out limit remains at $98,000 as it is based on the highest balance of $103,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.
