Prop firm without a consistency rule: the plans that qualify
Hero ONE 2-Step and Hero ZERO 2-Step have no consistency rule at all, in either phase or on payouts. Hero X has one in the evaluation only, and none once you’re funded. The other plans apply a consistency rule to payouts.
What a consistency rule is
A consistency rule limits how much of your profit can come from one trading day. At FundedHero Futures the test is simple: your best single day’s profit, divided by your total profit, can’t be more than the plan’s limit. Days are measured 6:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET, not by your local calendar.
Where the rule applies to payouts, going over it doesn’t breach your account. Your payout is delayed until your profits are more evenly spread, and once your best day is back within the limit, you can request.
The consistency rule, plan by plan
| Plan | Evaluation | Funded (payouts) | What the rules say |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero ZERO 2-Step | None | None | “There is no consistency rule anywhere on this plan.” |
| Hero ONE 2-Step | None | None | “There is no limit on how much of your profit can come from a single day on this plan.” |
| Hero X 1-Step | 50% | None | In the evaluation, “no single trading day may make up more than 50% of your total profit.” Funded: “no consistency rule on the funded account.” |
| Hero ZERO 1-Step | None | 50% | “No consistency rule in the evaluation.” At payout, “no single trading day can make up more than 50% of your total profit at the time you request a payout.” |
| Hero ONE 1-Step | 50%, doesn’t fail the account | 50% | In the evaluation, “going over doesn’t fail your account, but you won’t be eligible for a payout until the consistency rule is met.” The same 50% test applies when you request a payout. |
| Hero Live | No evaluation | 20% | “No single trading day may make up more than 20% of your total profit.” |
2-Step plans: no consistency rule anywhere
Hero ONE 2-Step and Hero ZERO 2-Step are the plans to pick if you want no consistency rule at any stage. One big day can count in full toward your Phase 1 target, your Phase 2 target and your payouts. Here’s what you take on instead:
- Two phases instead of one, though each can be passed in 1 day.
- A daily drawdown limit in Phase 2 and on the funded account. Reaching it breaches the account immediately.
- 3 winning days per payout, each closing at 0.3% of account size or more, plus a payout goal and a minimum and maximum payout per request.
The split is the highest of any plan: 85% on the 1st payout, 90% on the 2nd and 95% on the 3rd. The two plans differ only in the activation fee: Hero ONE charges a one-time fee after you pass, and Hero ZERO doesn’t.
Hero X: a consistency rule in the evaluation only
Hero X applies a 50% consistency rule in the evaluation: no single day can be more than half of your total evaluation profit. In practice, that means your profit target has to be built over at least two days.
Once you’re funded, the rule is gone. There’s no consistency rule and no first payout goal on the Hero X funded account. You need 4 winning days of $150 or more since your last request, then you can request up to your max payout, at a 90% split on every payout. Hero X also has no daily drawdown. See the Hero X plan.
Worked example: one big day on four plans
Say a funded account has $10,000 in total profit, and its best day made $6,000. That day is 60% of the total.
| Plan | Limit | Most one day can count for | Effect on a payout request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero ONE or ZERO 2-Step | None | No limit | No consistency check |
| Hero X (funded) | None | No limit | No consistency check |
| Hero ONE or ZERO 1-Step | 50% | $5,000 | Delayed until total profit reaches $12,000 |
| Hero Live | 20% | $2,000 | Delayed until total profit reaches $30,000 |
The delays assume the $6,000 day stays your best day: it fits inside 50% once total profit is $12,000, and inside 20% once it’s $30,000. Every plan’s other payout rules, such as winning days and max payout, still apply.
What still applies without a consistency rule
- Payout requirements. Winning days, payout goals where the plan has them, and a max payout per request. In your first 30 days funded, total payouts are capped at $2,500.
- Drawdown. Every plan uses an end-of-day trailing max drawdown, and daily limits apply where the plan has one.
- Prohibited practices. Rotating evaluations to get around the consistency rule counts as account cycling, which isn’t allowed. Neither are high-risk all-in setups.
- Review. The Risk Team checks every payout against the full rules, so read the payout guide before you request.
