Does Instant Funding Have a Consistency Rule?
The Simple Answer
Yes on most accounts, though several have none. The best-day rule caps how much of your total profit can come from one day, checked at payout: 15% on Instant (IF Micro), Instant (IF1), 1 Step (One Phase Micro) and 2 Step (Two Phase Micro), and 40% on 1 Step (One Phase) and 2 Step (Two Phase). The Instant and Instant (GO) accounts have no consistency rule.
Consistency Rule by Account Type
How the Rule Is Calculated
The consistency score is your single biggest trading-day profit divided by your total trading-day profit: (Highest Trading Day Profit ÷ Total Trading Days PnL) × 100. To stay eligible, the result must be at or below your account limit. Partial trades count on the day the position is fully closed.
Say your total profit is $1,000 and your single best day made $300. Your consistency score is 300 ÷ 1,000 = 30%. On the Instant (IF Micro) account the limit is 15%, so at that moment you cannot withdraw yet. To fix it, your total profit needs to reach at least 300 ÷ 0.15 = $2,000, so you keep trading (without beating that $300 day) until your total clears $2,000 and the score drops to 15% or below.
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant: No rule
The Instant account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
Instant (GO): No rule
The Instant (GO) account has no consistency requirement. Your best day can be any share of total profit without affecting your eligibility.
Instant (IF Micro): 15%
On the Instant (IF Micro) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 15% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
Instant (IF1): 15%
On the Instant (IF1) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 15% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
1 Step (One Phase): 40%
On the 1 Step (One Phase) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 40% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
1 Step (One Phase Micro): 15%
On the 1 Step (One Phase Micro) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 15% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
2 Step (Two Phase): 40%
On the 2 Step (Two Phase) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 40% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
2 Step (Two Phase Micro): 15%
On the 2 Step (Two Phase Micro) account, your largest single trading day must stay at or below 15% of total profit, checked in the funded phase before you can withdraw.
On Instant (IF Micro), adding the +5% Best Day add-on raises the limit from 15% to 20%.
What Happens If You Break It
Breaking the consistency rule at Instant Funding does not breach or reset your account. It is purely a payout gate: if your biggest day is too large a share of profit when you request a withdrawal, the payout is held, not cancelled, and your funded account stays active. You keep trading until your largest day falls back to the limit, then request the payout again. See the full Instant Funding payout methods and timelines for how withdrawals are processed.
How to Fix a Failing Score
The fix is dilution: keep making profit over your next trading days so your biggest day shrinks as a share of the total. Divide your best day by the limit as a decimal to find the total profit you need. For a 15% limit, a $300 best day needs total profit of at least $300 ÷ 0.15 = $2,000. So you keep trading, without beating that best day, until your total clears $2,000 and the score drops to 15% or below.
Final Comments
Instant Funding sets the best-day rule per account: 15% or 40% of total profit, checked when you request a payout. Its flagship Instant and Instant (GO) accounts carry no consistency rule at all. Where the rule does apply, going over it only holds your payout, never breaches your account.
Consistency is just one funded-phase rule. If your strategy trades around releases, check whether news trading is allowed at Instant Funding before you scale up.
