Summary (Quick Reference) #
- Consistency limit: 40%
- Applies to: All Gladiator Benchmarks
- Evaluated: Continuously
- Resets: After each Benchmark or MAE warning
- Purpose: Reward repeatable performance
Applies To #
- All Gladiator Accounts
- All Benchmarks
- Effective January 6, 2026 onward
There are no payout-based consistency rules anymore.
What Is the Consistency Rule? #
The Consistency Rule ensures that no single trading day dominates overall performance.
Rule:
No single trading day may contribute more than 40% of the total net profit accumulated toward the current Benchmark.
This rule exists to prevent:
- One-off or lottery-style trades
- Over-risking to rush progression
- Artificially inflating performance
Benchmarks are designed to measure repeatable, disciplined trading, not isolated wins.
How the 40% Consistency Rule Works #
Consistency is evaluated continuously while progressing toward a Benchmark.
At any point:
- We identify your largest single-day net profit
- We compare it against your total net profit since the last Benchmark (or account start)
- The largest day must be ≤ 40% of the total profit
If this condition is not met:
- The Benchmark will not be awarded
- Trading may continue
- Additional trading days are required until consistency falls back within limits
Numerical Examples #
Example 1: Consistent (Pass)
- Total profit toward Benchmark: $5,000
- Largest single day: $1,800
Calculation: $1,800 ÷ $5,000 = 36%
✅ Benchmark remains eligible
Example 2: Inconsistent (Fail)
- Total profit toward Benchmark: $5,000
- Largest single day: $2,400
Calculation: $2,400 ÷ $5,000 = 48%
❌ Consistency violation: Benchmark will not be awarded until more profit is accumulated across additional days
When Does Consistency Reset? #
Consistency resets when:
- A Benchmark is earned
- An MAE warning is issued
- The account is reset
Each Benchmark is evaluated independently.
Important Clarifications #
- Consistency applies to closed trades only
- Loss days do not count toward profit, but still affect totals
- Overshooting profit does not bypass consistency checks
- You cannot skip Benchmarks through large single-day gains
Why the Rule Exists #
The 40% Consistency Rule ensures that traders:
- Demonstrate sustainable risk control
- Build performance over multiple days
- Trade in a way that can scale to Real Prop capital
Benchmarks represent earned progression, not speed.
