Trade The Pool: Consistency (best position vs profit target)
▶Trade The Pool Consistency Rule: The 30% Cap That Kills Payouts — 38s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Your best single profitable position cannot account for more than 30% of the profit TARGET on MAX (50% on FLEX). Example: a $1,500 target → best trade ≤ $450. Applies to both evaluation and funded.
The gotcha
It's measured against the profit target, not your realized profit — so one outsized winner can disqualify even a profitable account.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
