Two senior executives at prop trading firms have publicly criticized profit consistency rules used across the industry while defending their own companies’ versions. Adam Bock, Head of Eightcap Challenges, identified profit consistency as the rule he would most like to remove from the sector when interviewed by ResponsibleTrading.com in mid-July. Separately, TTTMarkets Founder Archie Cade told the same outlet on July 31 that some competitor consistency rules are “structured more to catch traders out.”
Both firms maintain their own consistency requirements. Eightcap enforces “Profit Distribution” rules limiting daily profit contributions to thirty to thirty-five percent of payout requests, which Bock said encourages consistent risk management. TTTMarkets reviews accounts for prohibited activities like coordinated hedging, with Cade claiming violations typically result in reward adjustments rather than complete payout rejections.
The comments follow Eightcap’s 2024 exit from providing broker services to prop firms after MetaQuotes imposed restrictions, before relaunching its own challenges program in November 2025.

** Traders using prop platforms should carefully review payout consistency requirements, as these rules remain a primary dispute trigger even among executives who question their fairness.
