The Consistency Rule Explained
Short answer
The consistency rule limits how much of your profit can come from one trading day. If a payout request breaks it, the payout is delayed until your profits are more evenly spread — it does not breach your account.
It exists to reward steady performance, not one lucky day. The limit depends on your plan:
| Plan | Limit per single day | On $10,000 total profit |
|---|---|---|
| Hero Live | 20% of total profit | No day may contribute more than $2,000 |
| Hero ONE & Hero ZERO, 1-Step | 50% of total profit | No day may contribute more than $5,000 |
| Hero ONE & Hero ZERO, 2-Step | No consistency rule | — |
Example (1-Step plan)
Total profit: $10,000. Your best day made $6,000.
$6,000 is more than 50% of $10,000, so the payout is delayed. Keep trading — once that day is 50% or less of your total profit, you can request.

Days are measured 6:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST. The consistency calculation uses the trading day, not your local calendar day. See the 6:00 PM EST reset.
