USE THIS CALCULATOR TO ANSWERDoes my best day meet the rule, and how much more qualifying profit do I need?Start calculation

1. CHOOSE YOUR ACCOUNT

PFA loads the consistency rule when verified. Add the trading days in the current rule window and PFA works out the best day, denominator and recovery profit.

Check whether your best trading day fits the selected account’s consistency rule and see exactly how much additional qualifying profit is needed to restore eligibility.

HOW TO USE IT

Three steps to a useful result

01Choose the exact prop firm account

PFA loads the consistency percentage, calculation method, boundary and reset window when those rules are verified.

02Enter the daily P&L for this rule window

Add each day’s closed or net P&L from the current evaluation or payout window. PFA calculates the best day, positive-days profit and net profit for you.

03See what actually restores eligibility

PFA shows whether the rule is met and the minimum additional qualifying profit needed, using the selected firm’s denominator and boundary.

WHY THE NUMBER MATTERS

Example: the same best day can pass one consistency rule and fail another

A $1,000 best day is 50% of $2,000 net profit, but only 40% of $2,500 Positive Days’ Profit. PFA therefore keeps the denominator, reset window and strict-versus-inclusive boundary separate instead of assuming every consistency rule works the same way.

FAQ

Consistency + Recovery Calculator questions

Do losing days count in every consistency rule?

No. Some firms divide the best day by net profit, so losses reduce the denominator. Others use Positive Days’ Profit, where losing days do not add to or reduce that denominator. PFA uses the selected rule method.

Why can exactly 50% pass at one firm and fail at another?

Because the boundary can be inclusive or strict. A rule written as 50% or less allows exactly 50%; a rule written as below 50% does not.

What does recovery mean here?

Recovery means the additional qualifying profit needed to restore consistency or eligibility. It is not a generic drawdown-recovery calculation.
