At Alpha Futures, performance isn't just about making money — it's about how you make it. That’s why we use a proprietary metric called the Consistency rule to assess the sustainability of your trading performance before any payout is approved.
✅ What Is the Consistency?
Your Consistency measures how much of your total realized profit came from your biggest single trading day.
A low score means you built profits steadily across multiple sessions
A high score suggests you relied too heavily on a single high-volatility win — which may not be repeatable
In futures trading, where volatility is both an opportunity and a risk, this metric helps ensure payouts go to traders with repeatable edges.
🧮 Consistency Formula
Consistency = (Highest Single-Day Profit ÷ Total Realized Profit) × 100
Example:
Account Size: $100,000
Highest Profit Day: $4,000
Total Realized Profit: $14,000
→ Consistency = (4,000 ÷ 14,000) × 100 = 28.57%
That means 28.57% of your profit came from one trading day — which is acceptable for most funded accounts.
📌 Minimum Consistency Requirements
To qualify for a withdrawal on a funded account, your Consistency must meet the following thresholds:
Account Type | Max Consistency Allowed |
1-Step Challenge Phase | 40% |
Instant Funding Account | 20% |
If your score is too high, simply keep trading and distribute your gains more evenly before requesting a payout.
⚠️ Key Notes
Consistency only applies to funded accounts
It does not apply during any challenge or evaluation phase
Once your payout is approved, your Consistency resets to 100%
We place no restrictions on strategy, frequency, or trading style — only on the balance of your profit distribution
💡 Why the Consistency Matters
In the fast-paced world of futures, this rule protects both you and the firm.
It rewards traders who demonstrate repeatable skill
It filters out high-risk, all-or-nothing trading
It ensures payouts go to traders who can perform under pressure — more than once
This is about creating a firm built on long-term talent, not short-term heat.
