๐ŸŽฏ What Is the Consistency Target?

The Consistency Target is designed to evaluate a trader's ability to generate steady, repeatable profits while effectively managing risk.

50%
To meet this objective in the Tradentry Evaluation Account, your best trading day must not account for more than 50% of your total profit target.

If your largest winning day equals or exceeds 50% of your total profits, you'll need to keep trading until that percentage drops below the 50% mark.

This rule ensures that funding is awarded to traders who show consistency, not just one-off success. While the minimum number of trading days has been reduced, there's no pressure to pass in just a few days โ€” take your time and focus on building reliable performance.

โ“ Isn't It Impossible to Hit Exactly 50%?

Technically, no โ€” it's not impossible, but it's definitely unlikely to land your best trading day at exactly 50% of your profit target.

That's why at Tradentry, we've added a small buffer behind the scenes to account for market fluctuations. So don't worry โ€” you don't need to be exact to the penny to meet the Consistency Target.

Focus on smart, consistent trading and tight exits, and you'll be just fine.

๐Ÿ“‹ What Is the Recommended Best Day?

At Tradentry, your best day โ€” your most profitable single trading day โ€” must be less than 50% of your overall profit target to pass the Evaluation Account.

To stay within this requirement, we recommend setting a daily profit goal below that 50% threshold as part of your trading plan. This approach:

  • Helps lock in steady profits
  • Prevents overtrading
  • Shows consistent performance, which is a key evaluation metric

If your best day ends up being 50% or more of your total profit target, your profit target will automatically increase, and you'll need to continue trading to balance out that percentage.

To avoid that, use the Recommended Best Day table below as a guide and keep daily gains within the suggested range.

Account Size Profit Target Best Day Recommendation
50K $3,000 Less than $1,500
100K $6,000 Less than $3,000
150K $9,000 Less than $4,500

๐Ÿงฎ How Is the Consistency Target Calculated?

At Tradentry, the Consistency Target is calculated by comparing your best trading day's profit to your total profit target for the Evaluation Account. To meet this objective, your Best Day's profit must be less than 50% of the total Profit Target.

Example:

If your profit target is $3,000, then your best day must be less than $1,500 to meet the Consistency Target.

If your best day equals or exceeds 50%, you'll need to continue trading until that percentage falls below 50%.

Note: At Tradentry, the Consistency Target still applies even if you're in a drawdown โ€” losses don't cancel it.

๐Ÿ’ก What Does That Mean?

Even if your account is below the starting balance, you must keep your best trading day under 50% of the profit target. If your best day is too big, your profit target will go up.

Example โ€” 50K Account
  • Profit target = $3,000
  • Best day should stay under $1,500
  • Even if you're down โ€” for example, balance is $49,200 โ€” earning more than $1,500 in one day will increase your profit target
Tip

Stay under the recommended daily limit to avoid raising your target:

50K = $1,499 100K = $2,499 150K = $3,749

This helps you pass smoothly without needing to make extra profits.

๐Ÿ“ How We Calculate the Consistency Target at Tradentry

Formula
Best Day Profit รท Total Profit = Best Day %

Example โ€” 50K Account:

Best Day
$1,200
Total Profit
$2,800
Best Day %
43%

$1,200 รท $2,800 = 43%

This trader meets the Consistency Target since 43% is under the 50% limit.

Tip

You can pass in just two days as long as neither day is more than 50% of your total profits and you hit the full target.

The Consistency Target shows your ability to trade profitably in a steady and repeatable way.

It's not about large wins but managing risk and building habits for long-term growth. Reaching this target proves readiness to treat trading professionally and pay yourself consistently.
