How does the Express Consistency Rule work at FundedNext?
The Consistency Rule is only applicable to the Express Consistency Account.


Please find the Consistency Rule for our Express Challenge below:


Traders must keep consistency every week, which means staying within certain limits. A safe way to adhere to the consistency limits is to keep within +/- 200% of your weekly average or by a deviation of 2.0. To determine the limits, we use three factors: Trading Days, Number of Trades, and Lot Sizes. Each week, our system calculates the average of these indicators and sets a Maximum Weekly Average Limit (total x 2) and a Minimum Weekly Average Limit (total/2) for a trader's trade count and lot size consistency.


It's important to note that the maximum and minimum limit for consistency apply specifically to the weekly average trade count and lot size, not to the total number of trades or lots a trader can take.


To understand better, consider the following scenario:
Week 1: You can trade freely without worrying about trade or lot size consistency.
​

Week 2: A maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set using the average number of trades and lots you took in Week 1.


​Week 3: A maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set by averaging the number of trades and lots you took in Week 1 and Week 2.


​Week 4: A maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set by averaging the number of trades and lots you took in Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3.

Here's an example of how it would work each week:
Day 1: A trader took 10 trades with a total lot size of 12.

Day 2: There were 15 trades with 11 total lots.

Day 3: There were 19 trades with a total of 15 total lots.

Day 4: There were 26 trades with 18 total lots.

Day 5: There were 0 trades.


So, in total the trader traded a total of 4 days, took a total of 70 trades, and a total lot size of 56 for the week.


Now, for Week 1:

The average number of trades would be (total number of trades taken/number of days traded) = 70/4, which is 17.5 trades.

The average lot size would be (total number of lots used/number of days traded) = 56/4, which is 14 lots.


So, the consistency to be followed in Week 2 would be the following: ​


Number of Trades:

Maximum Weekly Average Limit (Average number of trades taken in Week 1 x 2) = 17.5 x 2 = 35 trades

Minimum Weekly Average Limit (Average number of trades taken in Week 1 / 2) = 17.5/2 = 8.75 trades ​


For Lot Size:

Maximum Weekly Average Limit (Average number of lots taken in Week 1 x 2) = 14 x 2 = 28 lots

Minimum Weekly Average Limit (Average number of lots taken in Week 1 / 2) = 14/2 = 7 lots


Based on the example above, the trader's calculations for Week 2 would be as follows:


Average number of trades at the end of the week: Between 9 trades and 35 trades

Average lot size to be used at the end of the week: Between 7 lots and 28 lots


Not adhering to these limits will be considered a violation.


Similarly, for Week 3, the average of the trading metrics from both Week 1 and Week 2 is calculated. This average is then used to establish the maximum and minimum weekly average limits for both lot size and number of trades. It is multiplied by 2 to set the upper limit and divided by 2 to set the lower limit, ensuring consistency in trading activity.


In the event of any rule violations, our agent will conduct a thorough review of the trader's account. Depending on the severity of the violation, the Payout for that specific cycle may be temporarily paused. It's important to note that such actions do not lead to account termination. Instead, the account will be Reset to its initial balance at the beginning of the next cycle, ensuring fair and transparent enforcement of our rules.
