The ZFC Consistency Rule is simple but powerful: No single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total weekly profit.
The Math of Discipline
If you finish the week with $400 in profit, your best single day cannot be more than $120 ($400 * 0.30). If your best day was $200, you aren't disqualified, but your "eligible profit" for the leaderboard is capped, which often drops you out of the Top 10.
Why We Have This Rule
We aren't looking for "gamblers" who hit one lucky trade on a news event. We are looking for disciplined traders who can perform consistently across the week. A winner who makes 1% a day for 4 days is far more valuable to us than someone who makes 4% in ten minutes and then stops.
Structure Your Week
- Target 0.5% - 1% per day: This naturally keeps you within the consistency limits.
- Don't stop after a big win: If you have a massive Tuesday, don't just stop trading. You need to continue trading (even at micro-lots) on Wednesday and Thursday to build your "total profit" base so that your Tuesday win stays under the 30% threshold.
- Use the Consistency Calculator: Always keep a spreadsheet of your daily P&L.
