Is there any consistency rule?

Do you have a consistency rule for traders?

Alpha uses a Trader Score, which functions as our consistency measure.

How Trader Score Works (Our Version of Consistency)

The Trader Score evaluates how balanced your performance is over time by measuring how much of your total profit came from your single most profitable day.

Trader Score Formula:
(Highest Single-Day Profit ÷ Lifetime Realized Profit) × 100

  • A lower Trader Score means your profits are spread across multiple days

  • A higher Trader Score means too much profit came from one day

This allows us to assess consistency without forcing traders to trade every day.


Why We Don’t Use Traditional Consistency Rules

Many firms require:

  • Daily profit caps

  • Fixed trading frequency

  • Forced minimum trading days

We don’t believe those rules reflect how real traders operate.

Markets don’t offer opportunities every day — and forcing trades often leads to bad decisions.


Why Trader Score Is a Better Consistency Model

Trade When Opportunities Exist

You’re never required to trade just to satisfy a rule.
Trade frequently or selectively — both are acceptable.

Quality Over Quantity

One strong trading day is fine.
What matters is that your success isn’t dependent on a single spike.

Adapts to Real Market Conditions

Trader Score evaluates performance over time, allowing you to:

  • Sit out low-quality market conditions

  • Capitalize on high-probability setups

  • Trade naturally, not mechanically


Our Philosophy on Consistency

At Alpha, consistency means repeatable performance, not repetitive trading.

Trader Score ensures:

  • Profits are earned sustainably

  • Risk is managed responsibly

  • Performance reflects skill, not luck

All without micromanaging how or when you trade.
