The 30% Consistency Rule: How They Deny Payouts

  ## The "Best Day" Nightmare
  
  Firms love to market "Freedom". But if you make 50% of your total profit in a single trade, they call it "Gambling" and void your account.
  
  ### The Logic
  They want consistent income, not lucky shots.
  
  ### How to Bypass It
  1.  **Lot Sizing:** Never go "All In". Use a fixed risk model (1% per trade).
  2.  **The "Buffer" Trade:** If you hit a home run, continue trading small size for 3-4 days to dilute the "Best Day" percentage.
  
  > **Pro Tip:** Topstep acts different. They actively encourage big winning days as long as risk parameters weren't breached.
