Consistency rules
Prop Firm Consistency Rules
Consistency Rules outline the criteria traders must meet to maintain or earn funding from the prop firm. They focus on sustainable profitability and prudent risk management across the evaluation period.
Key components
- Evaluation period: typically 30–60 days to assess ongoing profitability while maintaining risk discipline.
- Profit target: a minimum cumulative return over the evaluation period that demonstrates consistency.
- Maximum drawdown: a cap on the allowed decline from the peak equity during the evaluation, to ensure risk is controlled.
- Maximum daily loss: a limit on the amount a trader may lose on a single trading day.
- Position sizing and risk controls: rules requiring adherence to defined risk per trade, per day, and per instrument.
- Trade discipline and method: expectations for consistent methodology, record-keeping, and adherence to approved strategies.
- Compliance and monitoring: ongoing review of trading activity, with penalties for violations.
Example outline of a typical rule set
Note: Actual targets and limits vary by firm. Always consult the specific firm's published consistency rules.
Firm rules
News Trading
- Hyper-Growth and Bootcamp: Allowed except for bracket strategies around news.
- High Stakes: Executing orders 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news is prohibited.
Copy Trading
- Allowed for High Stakes and Hyper-Growth with limitations.
- Once a trader has more than $500K under management, taking the same trades across accounts is no longer possible.
- Copy trading from an external account is allowed only if the account belongs to the same trader.
- Third-party copy trading is not allowed.
- Copy trading is not allowed between two Bootcamp accounts.
- The5ers' partnership with Prop Firm One enables you to extend your copy trading capabilities even further. PF1 allows traders to seamlessly copy trades across different proprietary firm accounts within a single platform, offering increased flexibility and a broader range of opportunities. This means that, in addition to The5ers' internal copy trading feature, PF1 empowers users to manage trades across multiple firms, enhancing scalability and trading efficiency without breaching The5ers' core rules. For more details on this enhanced functionality, visit PropFirmOne.com.
Expert Advisors (EAs)
- Allowed as long as they comply with the terms and conditions:
- The EA must set a Stop Loss (SL) order on every position.
- The EA must not copy trades from other persons' signals.
- Perform tick scalping.
- Perform latency arbitrage trading.
- Perform reverse arbitrage trading.
- Perform hedge arbitrage trading.
- Use emulators.
Any accounts found using EAs that violate these rules will be canceled, banned, and not refunded. This applies to all programs, including Bootcamp and Instant Funding (Hyper Growth).
High Stakes Program
- Requires a minimum of 3 profitable days.
- A profitable day is a day where closed positions generate at least 0.5% of the initial balance.
Bootcamp Rules
- A stop-loss is mandatory for all positions and orders and must be set within 3 minutes of placement.
- Stop-loss (SL) is required for all positions and orders.
- SL must not risk more than 2% of the account balance per position.
- 3% daily pause (\"soft breach\") applies during the funded stage.
- Opening a position without an SL order, or risking more than 2% of the account balance in a single position, will be considered a risk violation. 5 risk violations will lead to automatic account termination
Prohibited Practices
- One-sided bets: Taking consistent positions in a single direction without considering market conditions.
- Exploitation of price discrepancies (arbitrage).
- Trading bracket strategies by placing pending orders around high-impact news.
