Does IC Funded Have a Consistency Rule?
The Simple Answer
Yes, but only during the 1-Step Accelerated Program evaluation. No single trading day may represent more than 45% of the total profit generated during the evaluation. It is a soft rule: exceeding it does not fail the account; the excess is added to your profit target, so you trade more to make up the difference. It does not apply to the 2-Step Professional Program or the funded stage.
Consistency Rule by Account Type
How the Rule Is Calculated
During the 1-Step Accelerated evaluation, no single trading day may represent more than 45% of your total evaluation profit. If a day exceeds the limit, the excess is added to your profit target rather than failing the account. The rule does not apply to the 2-Step Professional Program or the funded stage.
Say your evaluation profit is $10,000 and your best single day made $6,000. The 45% limit allows a best day of $4,500, so the $1,500 excess is added to your profit target. Your account does not fail; you simply generate that additional $1,500 over further trading days to complete the evaluation.
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Accelerated): 45%
On the 1 Step (Accelerated) model, your largest single day must stay at or below 45% of total profit during the challenge to progress. Funded stages have no consistency rule.
2 Step (Professional): No rule
The 2 Step (Professional) account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
What Happens If You Break It
Exceeding the 45% limit at IC Funded is a soft breach: your account does not automatically fail. The portion of your best day above 45% is added to your profit target, so you keep trading to make up the difference. It may also trigger a review by the risk team. The rule applies only during the 1-Step Accelerated evaluation.
How to Fix a Failing Score
There is nothing to fix in the usual sense: keep trading to generate the added profit, and spread your gains so no single day exceeds 45% of your evaluation profit. The rule does not apply on the 2-Step Professional Program or once you are funded.
Final Comments
IC Funded applies its 45% consistency rule only during the 1-Step Accelerated evaluation. It is a soft rule: exceed it and the excess is added to your profit target rather than failing the account, though it can trigger a risk review. The 2-Step Professional Program and the funded stage have no consistency rule.
Consistency is just one funded-phase rule. If your strategy trades around releases, check whether news trading is allowed at IC Funded before you scale up.
