Calculation Details
1. Entering Your Data
Here is what each field means and where to find the numbers in your trading dashboard (Tradovate, Rithmic, Match-Trader, etc.).
- Account Size: Enter your starting account balance (e.g., $50,000 or $100,000). Do not enter your current equity; enter the original size of the evaluation or funded account.
- Total Profit Achieved: Enter the total profit you have currently made in the account.
- Note: If you are in a drawdown, this calculator is not for you yet!
- Minimum Profit Per Day (%): Many firms state that a day only counts as a “profitable day” if you make at least X% of the account balance (usually 0.5%).
- Example: On a $50k account with a 0.5% rule, you must make at least $250 for the day to count. Use the slider to set this rule based on your firm’s FAQ.
- Required Profitable Days: How many “winning days” does your firm require before you can request a payout? (Standard is often 5 days).
- Days Meeting Minimum Profit: Look at your trading history. Count how many days you hit that minimum profit target (calculated above) and enter the number here.
2. The Consistency Check (Crucial!)
Most traders fail withdrawals not because they lost money, but because they made too much money in a single day relative to their total profit. This is called the “Consistency Rule.”
- Enable Consistency Check: Toggle this ON if your firm has a consistency rule (usually 30%, 40%, or 50%).
- Consistency Threshold: Set the percentage allowed by your firm.
- Example: If the rule is “30%,” it means no single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total profits.
- Best Trading Day Profit: Enter the profit from your single biggest winning day.
3. Understanding Your Results
Once you click Check Eligibility, the calculator will give you a Red or Green status. Here is how to interpret the breakdown:
🟢 Status: Eligible for Withdrawal
Congratulations! You have met the minimum day requirement, and your profits are spread out enough that you pass the consistency rule.
🔴 Status: Not Eligible Yet
If you get a red status, look at the “Consistency Analysis” or “Calculation Details” section to see why.
Common Reasons for Failure:
- “Days Still Needed”: You have the profit, but you haven’t traded enough days.
- Fix: Continue trading small size for the remaining days until you hit the quota.
- “Consistency Status: Failed”: Your best trading day is too large compared to your total profit. You are viewed as a “gambler” rather than a consistent trader.
- Fix: You generally do not lose the account for this. You simply cannot withdraw yet. You must continue trading to increase your Total Profit. As your total profit grows, your “Best Day” becomes a smaller percentage of the whole pie, eventually dropping you below the threshold.
Example of the Math
- Total Profit: $10,000
- Best Day: $5,000
- Your Consistency Score: 50% ($5,000 is 50% of $10,000).
- Firm Rule: 30%.
Result: You fail because 50% is higher than 30%. You need to keep trading until your Total Profit is roughly $16,700 (making the $5,000 best day roughly 29% of the total).
