Prime consistency: the 40% rule
Prime has exactly one consistency requirement, and it applies only to funded accounts, only at payout time:
Your largest single day can't exceed 40% of that payout cycle's profit.
There's no consistency rule in the evaluation
Worth saying plainly, because it's one of Prime's main attractions: the evaluation has no consistency requirement at all. Concentrate your profit into one day if that's how your edge works. Nothing about a lopsided evaluation stops you passing or carries over to the funded account.
How the 40% check works
When you request a payout, we look at the profit you've made since your last payout was approved — that's your cycle — and compare your best single day against it.
If your best day is 40% or less of the cycle's profit, you're clear.
A worked example. You've made $2,000 since your last payout. 40% of $2,000 is $800.
| Your best day | Result |
|---|---|
| $600 | Clear — 30% of the cycle |
| $800 | Clear — exactly at the limit |
| $1,200 | Not yet — that's 60% of the cycle |
What to do if your biggest day is too large
Nothing is lost — you just need the rest of the cycle to catch up. The check is a ratio, so every further day of profit lowers your biggest day's share.
In the example above, a $1,200 best day needs the cycle to reach $3,000 for that day to fall to 40%. Keep trading and the ratio resolves itself.
It resets after every payout
The moment a payout is approved, the cycle starts fresh — your cycle profit and this check both reset. One big day never blocks you long-term. It only has to be balanced within the cycle it happened in.
The trading day your payout is approved in belongs to the cycle that's ending, so your new cycle — and this check with it — starts fresh from the following day. If that big day was the one you were carrying, it goes with the cycle it happened in. How the cycle is measured.
Where to see it
Your dashboard shows your current largest-day percentage and where it stands against the 40% threshold whenever you go to request a payout. You never have to work it out yourself.
The other payout requirements
The 40% check is one of three gates on a Prime payout. You also need to clear a minimum profit goal for your size, and your balance has to be above your buffer. All three are covered in Prime payouts.
