What Is It?

The Consistency Percentage is a rule designed to ensure traders demonstrate steady, disciplined performance. It limits how much of a trader’s total profit can come from a single trading day, which helps reduce reliance on high-risk, one-off trades and promotes repeatable strategies.

How Does It Work?

The Consistency Percentage is a requirement for payout eligibility in both LucidPro and LucidDirect accounts. Each account type has its own threshold:

  • LucidPro Consistency Percentage: 35%

  • LucidDirect Consistency Percentage: 20%

Use the following formula to calculate your current Consistency Percentage:

Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Total Account Profit = Consistency Percentage

If the result is at or below the threshold for your account type, you meet the consistency requirement for a payout.

Example

You are trading a $50,000 LucidPro account:

  • Your largest single-day profit is $1,000

  • Your total account profit is $4,000

Apply the formula:

$1,000 ÷ $4,000 = 0.25 → 25%

Since 25% is below the 35% requirement for LucidPro, you meet the consistency standard. If your percentage had been higher than 35%, you would need to continue trading to reduce the impact of the largest day.

Why Do We Have It?

The Consistency Percentage exists to:

  • Encourage traders to focus on sustainable, repeatable performance

  • Deter excessive risk-taking or “all-in” trades

By reinforcing steady execution over time, the Consistency Percentage helps create an environment that rewards professionalism over luck, and discipline over gambling.
