Prop Firms With No Consistency Rule and No Daily Limit
What each rule really means, who needs it removed and what you give up in exchange. With a verified count of how many accounts do without it.
No firm removes rules out of generosity: it moves them. Across the 415 verified accounts from 17 firms, 264 have no consistency rule, 120 have no daily loss limit and 269 require no minimum days — but the account with no daily limit almost always comes with a floor trailing live equity, and the one with no minimum days with a higher target. The useful question is not which firm has fewest rules: it is which rule blocks you.
Why people search "without", not "best"
Anyone who has already bought a challenge stops asking which firm is best. They ask which one does not have the rule they hit last time: no consistency, no daily limit, no minimum days, no trailing floor. That is how the choice actually works, and also how people phrase questions to assistants: a list of constraints, not a superlative.
The trouble is that pages answering those questions often contradict themselves: one industry guide declares "no daily loss limit" at the top of its table and prints a dollar limit lower down the same page. Here the counts come from the verified presets, so the same rule cannot carry two different values in two places.
The consistency rule: who really needs it gone
What it means: your best day cannot be worth more than a set share of your total profit. Earn $2,000 in one day with a 30% cap, and you cannot request a payout until total profit is large enough for that day to fit the proportion.
Who needs it removed: anyone taking very few, very selective trades, anyone trading rare events, anyone whose strategy makes one move worth the whole week. For them the rule is not risk control, it is a structural obstacle.
What you give up: the consistency rule is also the only one protecting you from yourself on a good day. Without it, nothing stops you building all your profit in two hours and making a habit of it. And programs that drop it usually take the margin back elsewhere: a higher entry price, or a higher payout threshold.
The daily limit: the rule that replaces it
What it means: a second floor that resets every day and measures how much you may lose in a single session. It is independent of the overall maximum loss: you can break it with the account still far above the general floor and lose it anyway.
Who needs it removed: anyone trading volatile sessions, anyone holding through news, anyone scalping many trades in a row and at risk of stacking small losses in one bad hour.
What you give up: the overall floor almost always becomes a trailing one, chasing equity in real time. You are swapping a limit that resets each morning for a limit that follows you all day and never gives room back. For some that is a bargain, for others the exact opposite of what they wanted.
Minimum days: the rule that costs time, not money
What it means: you must have traded on a minimum number of days before passing the evaluation or requesting a payout. It does not measure your result, it measures your presence.
Who needs them gone: anyone who hits the target quickly and does not want to stay exposed for no reason, and anyone who trades a few times a month by design. The harm is not the waiting: it is being forced to risk an account already in profit just to tick a box.
What you give up: not much, which is why it is the most often absent rule. Across the 415 verified accounts, 269 require no minimum days, from 16 firms out of 17. Where they remain, they often apply only to the payout and not to passing the evaluation: a distinction worth reading in the terms, because it changes the whole weight of the rule.
How often each rule is actually absent
| Rule | What it stops you doing | Accounts without it | Firms with at least one such account |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency | concentrating profit into one day | 264 | 14 |
| Daily loss limit | losing a lot in a single session | 120 | 13 |
| Minimum days | finishing the evaluation in two days | 269 | 16 |
| Trailing floor | keeping the room you earned after a profit | 157 | 10 |
| Second phase | reaching the funded account in one evaluation | 310 | 17 |
| Activation fee due later | avoiding a second fee after passing | 339 | — |
| Minimum holding time | closing a trade after a few seconds | — | — |
| Maximum risk per trade | concentrating risk on a single entry | — | — |
A dash means the verified presets do not carry that field: it is not a zero and not a "none". Rules change without notice: the counts regenerate at every site update, but each program must still be read in its own terms.
The last two rows are the most important in the table, precisely because they are empty. Minimum holding time and per-trade risk caps exist in some contracts but are not carried by the verified presets: printing a zero there would tell you no firm applies them, and we do not know that. A dash is honest information; an invented zero is a mistake that costs you an account.
The two rules that never go away
Maximum loss and the profit target are never removed, because they are the product. On the $100,000 accounts we compare, the median first-phase target is 6% of the capital and the maximum loss 4.5%: you have to make more than you are allowed to lose, and that proportion is the real difficulty of any challenge. Every other rule sits around it.
That is why a firm "with no rules" does not and cannot exist. If you see one advertised that way, what vanished from the advert is in the terms.
How to choose by constraint, in four steps
- 1Write down what blocked youNot "I want fewer rules" but the exact rule you hit, or know you would hit: consistency, daily limit, minimum days, trailing floor.
- 2Look at what is asked in exchangeEvery absence has a price: a stricter floor, a higher target, a bigger entry fee. Compare the two rules together, never one alone.
- 3Put the cost on one scaleDivide the total cost by the maximum allowed loss: the only way to see whether the rule you removed was cheap or expensive.
- 4Check the dateThese counts regenerate, but a single program can change tomorrow: the last check belongs in the firm's terms, on the day you buy.
On the third step the gap is enormous: across the 82 $50,000 accounts we compare, each $1,000 of allowed loss costs between $20 and $595. Removing a rule that does not block you and paying that for it is the commonest way to choose badly.
The filterable table, with the account names
This page explains the rules; the prop firms page filters them. There you find all 415 accounts from 17 firms with consistency, daily limit, minimum days, floor type and cost per $1,000 of risk as columns, updated to the same date as the counts you have just read. Start from the rule that blocks you, filter, and look at what you are asked in exchange.

Frequently asked questions
Which prop firms have no consistency rule?
The right question is not which firm but which account: the same firm can run programs with and without that rule. Across the 415 accounts we compare, 264 carry no consistency rule at all, from 14 firms out of 17. The filterable table naming every account is on the prop firms page, because it changes often and has to be read up to date.
What is a prop firm consistency rule?
It is a cap on how concentrated your profit may be: typically your best day cannot be worth more than a set share of total profit. It lets the firm tell a repeatable result from a lucky hit. In practice a single exceptional day can hold up your payout until you produce enough ordinary days to rebalance the proportion.
Which prop firms have no daily loss limit?
Across the 415 verified accounts, 120 have no daily limit, from 13 firms. In almost every case the limit does not really disappear: it is replaced by an account floor that trails live equity, a stricter rule on the other side. The honest comparison looks at both rules together, never at one.
Is the firm with the fewest rules the best choice?
No: the best choice is the one with the fewest rules that block you. A rule you never touch costs you nothing, and paying for its removal with a higher price or a tighter floor is a bad deal. If you end every day flat, a daily limit is irrelevant; if you scalp ten trades a day, that same limit may be your only real problem.
What are minimum trading days?
The minimum number of days you must have traded before passing the evaluation or requesting a payout. They exist to stop an account being decided by one lucky trade. Across the 415 accounts we compare, 269 require none, from 16 firms: it is the most often absent of the three rules.
Is there a prop firm with no rules at all?
No, and one promising that would deserve suspicion. Two rules never go away, because they are the product itself: the maximum loss, the floor at which the account closes, and the profit target you have to reach. Everything else is configurable, and it varies enormously between programs.
