Consistency is a central pillar for the success and sustainability of operations at Ylos Trading. Our guidelines are designed to promote disciplined, safe, and profitable long-term trading. Therefore, understanding the "Balance Consistency Rule" is fundamental to your consistency and progress on the prop firm.

What is the Balance Consistency Rule?

This rule encourages prudent risk management and prevents you from concentrating all your profits on a single trade, making you an increasingly consistent trader and less dependent on "exceptions or luck" in the market.

To achieve this, we limit the representation of a single day in your total profit. This percentage varies according to your account type, being 30% for Instant Funding and Freedom accounts, and 40% for Standard accounts.

Therefore, depending on the account type, no single trading day can represent more than 30% or 40% of your total net profit ONLY during the period in which the withdrawal is analyzed. And the analysis period for your withdrawal depends on which request you are making.

For your first withdrawal request, we consider all transactions made from the day your Funded account was activated until the exact moment of the request.

For subsequent requests, the analysis window begins counting from the transactions made immediately after your last withdrawal request and continues until the date of the new request.

Within this new withdrawal window, we apply the balance consistency rule. It is very important to highlight that this rule is calculated on the net profit made exclusively in the analyzed period, and no longer on the total balance of your account.

Instant Funding and Freedom (30% Rule): The profit of a single day cannot be equal to or greater than 30% of the total profit of the analyzed period. For example, if your net profit in the window was $9,000, you cannot have profited $3,000 or more in a single day.

Standard and No Activation (40% Rule): The profit of a single day cannot be equal to or greater than 40% of the total profit of the period. Using the same reasoning, if the net profit for the window was $10,000, no day can have a profit of $4,000 or more.

Restriction Based on Total Payouts:

For standard Master Accounts:

Up to $30,000 in total payouts across all accounts: The consistency rule remains at 40%;

Between $30,000 and $50,000 in total payouts: The consistency rule is reduced to 30%;

Above $50,000 in total payouts: The consistency rule is reduced to 20%.

For Instant Funding and Freedom accounts:

Up to $50,000 in total payouts across all accounts: The consistency rule is 30%;

Above $50,000 in total payouts: The consistency rule is reduced to 20%.

For example, if a user with a 50K Master Account has $10,000 in profit and $20,000 in total payouts across all accounts, no single day's withdrawal can exceed $4,000 (40%). If total payouts reach $50,001, the limit drops to $2,000 (20%) for standard accounts, or $3,000 (30%) for Instant Funding accounts up to the $50,000 mark, and 20% thereafter.

The consistency rule resets after each withdrawal request.

Does the balance consistency rule also apply to Challenge accounts?

No, only to Funded (challenge after activation) or Instant Funding accounts.

Essentially, this rule encourages the building of a mature, sustainable, and long-term trading strategy. We want you to consistently pursue profitability, preserving your capital and keeping losses strictly under control.
