At Funded7, Rule 1 (Consistency) is not a set of violation triggers, but a Quality Standard for payouts. It is designed to prove that your profits are the result of reproducible “skill” rather than a lucky streak.
【Rule 1A】 Trade Size Consistency Rule #
To prevent sudden “all-or-nothing” gambles where risk is scaled irresponsibly, we implement a Dynamic Statistical Criterion based on your own trading history.
Determining the Allowable Threshold #
The system compares two statistical benchmarks and adopts the stricter (lower) value as your current “Allowable Threshold.”
Allowable Threshold = MIN (Median Criterion, IQR Criterion)
The Calculation Logic #
The system extracts the Notional Value of every trade, sorts them in ascending order, and calculates the following:
① Median Criterion (Judgment by Middle Value) We look at the exact middle value of your trade size history.
-
Formula: Median × 2.5
-
Intent: We allow up to 2.5 times your “standard” trading size.
② IQR Criterion (Identification of Statistical Outliers) We use a statistical method to identify “abnormal spikes” (outliers) based on the dispersion of your data.
-
Formula: Q3 + (1.5 × IQR)
-
Definitions:
-
Q3 (3rd Quartile): The 75th percentile of your notional values.
-
IQR (Interquartile Range): The difference between Q3 and Q1 (25th percentile).
-
-
Intent: This accounts for your typical “volatility in trade size” and flags trades that fall outside that range.
What is Notional Value? #
We do not judge by “Lots” alone, but by Notional Value to standardize the actual weight of responsibility across all instruments.
Why not Lots? 1 lot of EUR/USD and 1 lot of Gold represent vastly different market exposure. In the 2026 market environment, 1 lot of Gold is worth approximately 5 times more than 1 lot of USD/JPY.
Real-Life Calculation Example (Violation Case) #
Scenario:
You have closed 50 trades so far, mostly 1.0 lot on EUR/USD.
- Your Statistical Data:
– Median: $100,000
– Q3 (Top 25% line): $110,000
– IQR (Dispersion): $20,000 - Threshold Calculation:
– Median Criterion: $100,000 × 2.5 = $250,000
– IQR Criterion: $110,000 + (1.5 × $20,000) = $140,000
– Final Allowable Threshold: MIN($250,000, $140,000) = $140,000 - Current Trade:
– XAU/USD (Gold) 1.0 lot
– Notional Value: $230,000 (assuming price is $2300) - Verdict:
– $230,000 (Current) > $140,000 (Threshold)
→ VIOLATION (Outlier) ❌
【Rule 1B】 Activity Standards #
This rule ensures that your evaluation wasn’t finished by a single lucky day, but through consistent market participation.
To qualify for Pro promotion or Payouts:
-
Minimum Trades: At least 10 closed trades. This proves your strategy is not dependent on just one or two instances.
-
Minimum Trading Days: At least 3 Active Trading Days.
-
Definition: An “Active Trading Day” is a day where at least one new order or one closure is executed.
-
【Rule 1C】 Profit Quality (QC) Rule #
Criterion: QC Score ≧ 0.90
This test proves you are not a “One-Hit Wonder.” It measures how your “2nd and 3rd Best Trades” compare to your “Single Best Trade” (or trade cluster).
Definition of “Trade Cluster”: For this calculation, multiple trades opened on the same instrument closely or relatively close together are counted as ONE single trade. This prevents splitting a single large gambling position into smaller trades to bypass the rule.
Formula
QC = (Profit of 2nd Best Trade + Profit of 3rd Best Trade) ÷ Profit of Max Trade
A score of 0.90 or higher is required to pass. This proves that your best win wasn’t an anomaly—you have achieved comparable wins at least two other times.
Good Example (Pass):
- Max Trade: +$10,000
- 2nd Best: +$5,000
- 3rd Best: +$4,000
- Calc: ($5,000 + $4,000) ÷ $10,000 = 0.90 (Pass ✅)
Bad Example (Fail):
- Max Trade: +$10,000 (Lucky news spike)
- 2nd Best: +$2,000
- 3rd Best: +$1,000
- Calc: ($2,000 + $1,000) ÷ $10,000 = 0.30 (Fail ❌)
- Verdict: The profit relies too heavily on a single lucky trade.
Consequence of Violation #
Not meeting Rule 1 is NOT a violation and does not result in a “Strike.” We simply wait for you to further prove your consistency.
Case A: Upon Passing Challenge (Phase 2) Due to system constraints when a target is hit (account locking):
-
Action: You will be placed in a Silver Funded Account (Risk 2.0%).
-
Remedy: Successfully complete 3 payouts in the Silver environment to upgrade to a regular Pro Account.
Case B: During Payout Request on Pro Account
-
Action: The payout will be held (deferred).
-
Remedy: Simply continue trading. As you add more consistent trades, your data history (Median/QC) will normalize. Once your metrics are “cured” and back in the healthy range, the payout will be released immediately.
