What is the Consistency Rule and why is it important?
Consistency is crucial for trading success
The trading journey is challenging, with periods of success and failure. Every strategy has times when it works flawlessly and times when it faces losses. Long-term profitability isn't just about profit size, but also about consistent performance through good and bad times.
Why Consistency Matters
Consider two strategies:
Strategy A: 5 trades, $50,000 profit (50%), $50,000 drawdown (50%) Strategy B: 100 trades, $30,000 profit (30%), $10,000 drawdown (10%)
While Strategy A makes larger profits per trade, Strategy B performs better long-term with lower drawdown, making it less risky and more consistent. Quick profits increase risk and aren't the path to sustainable trading.
The Consistency Score
You can track your Consistency Score in real-time on your dashboard. This metric measures your trading consistency, with higher values indicating better consistency.
Formula: (1 - Biggest Day ÷ Total of All Days) × 100
Example:
- Day 1: +$100
- Day 2: -$500
- Day 3: +$800
- Biggest day = $800
- Total = $100 + $500 + $800 = $1,400
- Score = (1 - 800/1400) × 100 = 43%
Understanding Your Score:
- 0%: All profit made in one day (difficult to evaluate strategy)
- 60%: Your best day accounts for 40% of total profit (acceptable)
- 80%+: Excellent consistency, indicating long-term viability
Important: The Consistency Score is informational only and does not affect your challenge outcome. You only need to follow the Trading Objectives. However, maintaining good consistency (60%+) is recommended for sustainable long-term trading success.
Benefits of Consistency
Mubite values consistent traders. A consistent approach:
- Protects your account during losing periods
- Prevents "revenge trading" after losses
- Enables access to our Scaling Plan
- Can qualify you for up to 90% profit share
Real Example: A trader with 80.61% consistency nearly hit Maximum Loss but recovered through disciplined position sizing, eventually making $17,000 profit. Larger positions after losses would have violated account limits.
Important Notes:
- The Consistency Score is informative and helps you track performance
- You can still have exceptional trades without harming long-term consistency
- Consistency doesn't limit your returns—it ensures sustainable trading
- Unnecessary interventions in a working strategy often lead to losses
Mubite seeks serious traders who manage risk responsibly and achieve consistent results. A consistent approach differentiates traders who follow a plan from those who rely on luck.
