Field Note: How consistency rules affect payout prep

Repeated question

Can one large winning day keep payout prep from being ready?

Run consistency check

Why this matters

What the confusion can affect

• A trader may have profit but still need to check concentration or consistency conditions.
• The relevant window can change after an approved payout or by account product.
• Different firms use different consistency terms and thresholds.

Official rules to check

Verify these before acting

• Consistency threshold
• Calculation window
• Which days count
• Whether the condition affects challenge, funded account, or payout request

Next checks

Turn the note into a route

• Run the relevant consistency checker where available.
• Check whether this is first payout or a later payout window.
• Open the firm profile for account-product context.

This note is not a strategy suggestion. It is a reminder that payout prep should check concentration rules before assuming the payout request path is blocked for some other reason.
