What is the rule of 50% consistency?

The 50% Consistency Rule ensures that your performance is stable and not dependent on one large trade. To pass this rule, no single trade should make up more than 50% of your total realized profit. This applies across both the Trading Challenge and the Pivex Traders Stage and is checked when reviewing accounts for upgrades or payouts.

When does it apply?

The rule is active throughout your time at Pivex, including during the Challenge and the Traders Stage. Most importantly, it is reviewed before account upgrades and payout approvals. It helps ensure traders are demonstrating repeatable skill, not one-time luck.

How is it calculated?

We compare your highest profit from a single trade to your total realized profit. If the largest trade exceeds 50% of your total profits, the rule is not met. 

Example:

If your total realized profit is $10,000 and one trade contributed $7,000, that trade makes up 70% of your total, breaching the rule. You would need to continue trading and generating additional profits to dilute the weight of that large trade.

Why is this rule important?

The purpose of the rule is to promote consistent and responsible trading behavior. Traders who rely on one high-risk or lucky trade might not be able to repeat that performance. Pivex wants to fund traders who can manage risk, demonstrate a stable strategy, and deliver results over time.

What happens if you exceed the limit?

If you breach the rule, you will not be disqualified, but you will need to continue trading until your performance becomes more balanced. You’ll need to generate more profits from other trades so that your biggest trade makes up 50% or less of your total. Until this happens, you won’t be eligible to move to the next stage or request a payout.

Summary

The 50% Consistency Rule encourages traders to show real, repeatable skill. It’s not enough to make one large winning trade — you need to prove you can do it steadily. Keep your trading disciplined, and if one trade puts you over the limit, keep working until your results even out.
