No Consistency Rule: Why We Dropped the Cap on One Step and Two Step

One Step and Two Step evaluations no longer cap how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day. Hit your target however you actually trade — one strong session or steady gains spread across weeks both count the same.

A consistency cap is meant to filter out one lucky trade, but it also penalizes traders whose real edge shows up in bursts — a clean breakout, a news reaction played correctly, a day the market simply cooperated. We'd rather judge a trader on the two things that actually matter: can you hit the target, and can you do it inside the daily and total loss limits.

This isn't a rule we dropped to make evaluations easier — the daily and total loss limits both got tighter in the same update (see Daily Loss vs. Total Loss). We replaced one rule with two stricter ones.

The daily loss limit, total loss limit, and minimum trading day requirement are unchanged by this and fully enforced. Removing the consistency rule doesn't touch drawdown risk management — that's the part that actually protects your capital and ours.

Instant Funding and Live accounts are a separate case: since they're funded from day one rather than clearing an evaluation, they keep a real 10% consistency rule that applies once funded. It doesn't breach the account — a violation disqualifies that month's scale-up, the same way any other rule violation does.
