Is There an Consistency Rule?

If you’re in an evaluation stage, you don’t have to worry about these rules—your focus should be on passing your challenge however you see fit.
No Consistency Rule
We Pay Skilled Traders (1-2-3 Step Models)
At Orion Funded, we’re here to pay traders who approach the market with skill and discipline—traders like you. You have full freedom to trade your way, without consistency rules or unnecessary restrictions.
However, if trading behavior shows an overreliance on a single trade or a few high-risk bets, it may be considered gambling behavior. In such cases, the account may be subject to measures like leverage limitations, profit adjustments, or manual review to ensure fairness and sustainability.
Why does this matter? Because we want to keep payouts flowing to those who take trading seriously. You put in the effort, manage risk, and build real success—that’s exactly who we’re here to support. Keep doing what you do best, and we’ll be here to back you every step of the way.
Only exemption
In Instant Funding, a rule applies. The highest profit day in a payout cycle cannot exceed 30% of total profits earned during that period to ensure sustainable and steady performance.
2. Minimum Number of Profitable Trading Days
To be eligible for a withdrawal, you must have at least 5 profitable trading days within the payout cycle. A day is considered profitable if you close with at least 0.30% gain based on the previous day's balance.
✅ Example: If your balance at the end of yesterday was $50,000, you need to close today with a profit of at least $150 for the day to count as "profitable."
This rule ensures that:
Traders don’t rely on a single trade or a single day to generate all their profits.
Withdrawals go to traders who are trading actively and consistently, rather than those taking one lucky high-risk trade.
3. Leverage and Maximum Risk Per Trade
Risk management is key to long-term profitability. That’s why Orion Funded enforces the following risk limits per trade and per day:
Maximum risk per trade: 3% of the account balance.
Excessive Margin Usage in Funded Accounts
Across all funded accounts, including Orion Zero, 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step, the excessive use of available margin may lead to account review and warnings.
If you regularly use more than 70% of your available margin, it may result in:
❌ Account limitations
❌ Profit removal
❌ Account termination for excessive leverage use
Professional traders typically risk no more than 1% of their account balance on a single trade and utilize only 20% to 30% of their available margin. This approach helps in mitigating potential losses and supports long-term trading success.
Why do we have this rule?
We want traders to trade smart, not reckless.
If you’re taking oversized risks, it’s not a sign of skill—it’s a sign of gambling.
Traders who manage risk well stay profitable in the long run.
Final Notes
These consistency rules are not here to limit you—they are here to help you succeed as a professional trader. A trader who builds steady, repeatable results is far more likely to stay funded and withdraw profits month after month.
If you’re still in an evaluation phase, these rules do not apply to you. But once you become a funded trader, we expect you to trade in a way that aligns with real, professional trading standards.
