Consistency and behavior Monitor & Block

Consistency Rule

Prop firm consistency enforcement. Caps daily profit for even distribution across trading days.

How it works

Most prop firms require consistent trading, meaning no single day should account for a disproportionate share of total profit. PipsGuard monitors your daily P&L and enforces a cap.

Challenge mode: Calculates a daily profit cap based on your profit target divided by minimum trading days. If you hit the cap, trading pauses for the day.

Funded mode: Monitors your daily profit contribution percentage. If any single day would exceed the consistency limit (e.g., 30% of total profit), trading pauses.

Configuration

Parameter Default Description
mode challenge challenge or funded
target_percent 10.0% Profit target (challenge mode)
consistency_limit 30% Max % of total profit in one day (funded mode)
pause_on_cap false Pause trading when daily cap is hit
warning_percent 80% Warn at this % of daily cap

When this rule fires

Monitor: Tracks daily P&L against the calculated cap. Warns at the warning threshold.
Block: Pauses trading for the day when the daily profit cap is reached (if pause_on_cap is enabled).

Tips

  • In challenge mode, set target_percent to match your prop firm's profit target.
  • In funded mode, start with a 30% consistency limit and tighten as needed.
  • Enable pause_on_cap to enforce hard daily profit limits.
  • Use warning_percent at 80% to know when you are approaching the cap.
