Profit Consistency Rule

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At PIP Traders Funding LLC, we apply a 50% Profit Consistency Rule once a Certified PIP Trader submits a reward request. This rule ensures that your profit comes from consistent, disciplined trading — not from a single oversized or overly risky trade.


⚖️ How the Rule Works

You may not have 50% or more of your total profit from a single trade. We are looking for traders who apply proper risk management and demonstrate sustainable strategies — not one-time luck or overleveraged positions.


🎯 Why We Do This

We’re here to fund traders who:

  • Follow their trading plan consistently

  • Use professional risk management

  • Build stable, replicable results over time

This rule helps prevent behavior such as:

  • Overleveraging a single trade for a large gain

  • Stopping trading after one "lucky shot"

  • Jumping from firm to firm with no consistency or control


📌 Example

If your account has $10,000 total profit, no single trade can exceed $5,000 in profit.
If it does, that trade will be excluded from your reward calculation.


🔄 5- Minute Grouping Rule

All trades opened within a 5-minute window are grouped and counted as one trade for the purposes of this rule. This prevents traders from splitting one position into several smaller entries to bypass the rule or trying to exploit the simulated environment.


➗ What About Partial Closures?

If you partially close a position, it will be:

Grouped as a single trade, based on the original opening time
🔍 Even if they appear as separate trades in your history, our system groups them as one position
→ Therefore, all partial closures are treated as a single trade under this rule


⚠️ What Happens If You Break the Rule?

  • The trade that violates the rule will be flagged as a soft breach

  • It will be removed from the reward calculation

  • Your Sim Funded Account will remain active

  • You may continue trading, and only valid trades will be processed
