Understanding the CFD Prime Consistency Rule
At The Trading Pit, we’re committed to helping you succeed as a trader by fostering disciplined, consistent, and sustainable trading habits.
Our CFD Prime Consistency Rule is designed to support your growth, ensuring you build skills that lead to long-term success in our simulated trading environment. Here’s how it works and why it’s a key part of your journey with us.
What Is the Consistency Rule?
The Consistency Rule applies to all CFD Challenges. It encourages steady, low-risk trading by setting a daily profit limit of 40% of your overall profit target.
This approach helps you:
-
Develop reliable trading strategies that stand the test of time.
-
Avoid the pitfalls of high-risk trades that may not be sustainable.
-
Build confidence through consistent, achievable progress.
By focusing on gradual growth, the rule aligns with professional trading standards, setting you up for success in both our Challenges and your future trading endeavors.
How It Works: A Simple Example
Let’s walk through an example to show how the Consistency Rule supports your trading:
Imagine you’re participating in a $100,000 CFD Prime Challenge with a $10,000 profit target.
The Consistency Rule means you can earn up to $4,000 per day (40% of $10,000).
Here’s how it plays out:
-
Day 1: You earn $4,500, which exceeds the $4,000 daily limit by $500. To keep your progress steady, the $500 excess is added to your profit target, making it $10,500. Your Day 1 profit remains $4,500, and you’re still on track.
-
Day 2: You earn $3,000, staying within the daily limit. Your total profit is now $7,500 ($4,500 + $3,000).
-
Day 3: You earn $3,500, which is below the adjusted daily limit of $4,200 (40% of $10,500). Your total profit reaches $11,000, surpassing your target.
This structure ensures you can’t rely on just one or two big wins to meet your goal. Instead, it rewards consistent effort, helping you refine your skills and achieve sustainable results.
What are the Benefits of the Consistency Rule?
The Consistency Rule is more than just a guideline — it’s a tool to help you thrive. By encouraging disciplined trading, it:
