At BluSky, we prioritize steady, disciplined trading over "all-or-nothing" gambles. The Consistency Rule ensures that your success is built on a consistently repeatable strategy rather than a single, lucky windfall.
The rule is designed to keep your largest single day of profit within a specific percentage of your total gains.
🧮 The Math Behind the Magic
To calculate your consistency, we look at your Highest Profit Day in relation to your Total Profit (PnL). The formula is:
Consistency Percentage = (Highest Profit Day / Total Profit) * 100
To stay compliant with the consistency rule, this result must be equal to or less than the consistency percentage assigned to your specific account type (e.g., 30%).
💡 Examples in Action
Let’s assume you are trading an account with a 30% Consistency Rule. Here is how the math looks in different scenarios:
Example 1: Perfectly Consistent ✅
Total Profit Target: $3,000
Highest Profit Day: $900
The Math: $900 / $3,000 = 0.30$ (30%)
Status: You are exactly at the limit. You’ve shown great control over your daily scaling.
Example 2: Well Within the Limits ✨
Total Profit Target: $5,000
Highest Profit Day: $1,000
The Math: $1,000 / $5,000 = 0.20$ (20%)
Status: Since 20% is less than 30%, your account is in excellent standing with the consistency rule.
Example 3: Over the Threshold ⚠️
Total Profit Target: $2,000
Highest Profit Day: $1,000
The Math: $1,000 / $2,000 = 0.50$ (50%)
Status: Action Required. Because 50% is higher than your 30% limit, you aren't "in consistency" yet. To fix this, you simply need to continue trading and increase your Total Profit until that $1,000 day represents 30% or less of your total.
🚀 Pro Tip
If you find yourself "out of consistency," don't worry! You don't lose your account. You simply need to keep trading profitably to grow the "Total Profit" denominator, which naturally lowers your consistency percentage over time. 📈
