Can I still withdraw?</p>\n<p>A: No. You must bring your consistency back within the allowed range (40% or 25% depending on account type) before you can withdraw. Trade more days with smaller gains relative to your best day to reduce the percentage.</p>\n<p>Q: Does the consistency rule apply in the FFN Institution?</p>\n<p>A: No. When you trade in the FFN Institution (90/10 split), the consistency rule does not apply. It only applies to sim-funded accounts.</p>","summary":"The consistency rule prevents a single outsized trading session from accounting for too large a portion of your total profit, ensuring you earn funding through disciplined, repeatable trading rather than one lucky trade. The rule compares your best single session profit to your total profit target, and if one session exceeds the allowed percentage, your profit target increases until consistency is restored without immediately failing your account. Consistency thresholds vary by account type: Standard OG and Standard MAX evaluation accounts allow 40%, Express OG allows 25%, Express MAX evaluation allows 50%, and Exhibition accounts measure 40% against the buffer amount. In funded accounts, consistency is based on your best day net P&L relative to total profit after your last payout, your best day record does not reset after withdrawal, and you cannot withdraw until you bring your consistency back within the allowed range by trading more days with smaller gains.","labels":[],"folderId":"57b20d3e-f347-4a82-81af-a38fde0d3662","isPublished":true,"isPromoted":false,"sourceUrl":null,"updatedAt":"2026-10-08T19:59:50.875Z","path":[{"id":"578a8512-2e6e-4ffa-9db3-c8659010327c","slug":"trading-rules-and-risk-management","title":"Trading Rules and Risk Management"},{"id":"57b20d3e-f347-4a82-81af-a38fde0d3662","slug":"article-3-6-the-consistency-rule-what-it-is-and-how-it-affects-you","title":"Article 3.6: The Consistency Rule (What It Is and How It Affects You)"}]}}}
