The FunderPro Consistency Rule: A Real Conversation with a Client

I recently had a conversation with one of my clients who was gearing up to take the FunderPro Funded Account Challenge. They were confused about the "Consistency Rule," so I broke it down for them in a way that made sense. Here's how our conversation went:

Client: Hey Shepherd, I’ve been reading about the FunderPro Funded Account Challenge, and I keep seeing this “Consistency Rule.” I don’t really get it. Isn’t the point to hit the profit target as fast as possible? Why does it matter how much I make in one day?

Me: I totally get where you're coming from, and it can be a bit tricky at first. The Consistency Rule is about making sure you’re building profits steadily over time. FunderPro wants to see that you can be consistent in your trading, not just relying on a single big win. The rule is simple: your biggest profit day can’t be more than 45% of your total profit during the challenge.

Client: Wait, so if my target is $2,000, my best day can’t be more than $900? That sounds a bit strange. Why can’t I just make as much as I can on day 1?

Me: I know it sounds weird, but it’s actually a safeguard to help you avoid big risk-taking. FunderPro doesn’t want to see traders relying on one big lucky trade. They want to know that you can steadily build up profits without chasing massive wins that could easily turn into massive losses. The 45% rule forces you to play it steady and safe, which is exactly what they’re looking for.

Client: Hmm, I don’t know. If I have a really good day, why should I hold back? That doesn’t make sense. What if I’m on a roll?

Me: I get it. It feels counterintuitive at first, right? But think of it like this: FunderPro is giving you unlimited time to pass the challenge. There’s no rush to hit that profit target. The focus isn’t on hitting a home run on day 1; it’s about proving that you can make consistent, smaller gains over time. By keeping each day’s profit under the 45% limit, you’re showing them you can handle risk and avoid emotional decisions.

Client: Yeah, but what if I make a big win and I’m really feeling good? Why shouldn’t I just take that win?

Me: I understand that feeling, especially when you’re in a winning streak. But here’s the thing: going for big wins might feel good in the short term, but it often leads to taking unnecessary risks. FunderPro’s goal is to see if you can trade consistently, not rely on the highs and lows. They want traders who can manage risk and grow profits in a controlled way, even if that means smaller wins each day.

Client: So you’re saying I should go for smaller, consistent profits every day instead of trying to hit a big win?

Me: Exactly! It’s about consistency. If you make smaller, steady profits, you won’t have to worry about hitting the 45% limit. You’ll be building up profits in a way that proves you can handle your trades over time, not just get lucky once. And remember, you have unlimited time to complete the challenge, so there’s no pressure to rush.

Client: I see… I guess I was thinking I needed to hit a big win fast. But I get that this is about proving I can make steady profits. It’s starting to make sense now.

Me: That’s it! It’s not about the big, lucky day. It’s about showing FunderPro that you can build wealth over time without taking huge risks. Small, consistent profits lead to much more stable and sustainable results in the long run.

Client: Alright, I think I’m starting to get the picture now. I just need to stick to the plan and focus on making steady, smaller profits. Thanks for explaining it.

Me: Exactly! It’s all about staying disciplined and keeping things steady. You’ll hit your target without breaking the rules, and you’ll be building good habits for the future. If you need any more help as you go through the challenge, just let me know!

Client: Will do. Thanks again for clearing that up. I feel way more confident about this now.

Me: No problem at all! Good luck, and I’m sure you’ll crush it. Just stick to the plan and stay consistent. You've got this!
