Shark Futures offers two evaluation types with different risk structures. One uses a Consistency Rule (Basic), the other uses a Daily Loss Limit (Basic Plus). Understanding the difference helps you choose the right account for your trading style.
Basic — 40% Consistency Rule
On Basic accounts, no single trading day may account for more than 40% of your total realized profit. This rule encourages steady, repeatable performance rather than relying on one large trade or one exceptional day.
Example: If your total profit is $3,000, no single day's profit should exceed $1,200 (40% of $3,000).
There is no daily loss limit on Basic accounts. Risk is managed exclusively through the EOD Trailing Max Drawdown.
A 0.12% buffer is applied to the consistency calculation to account for minor rounding differences.
Basic Plus — Daily Loss Limit (No Consistency Rule)
Basic Plus accounts have no consistency requirement. Instead, traders must stay within a fixed Daily Loss Limit for their account size.
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$25K | $600 |
$50K | $1,250 |
$100K | $2,500 |
$150K | $3,750 |
If your account equity drops by this amount or more within a single trading day, the account will breach.
PRO Funded Accounts — 35% Consistency Rule
Once funded (PRO phase), all accounts — regardless of whether they started as Basic or Basic Plus — follow a unified 35% consistency rule. No single trading day may account for more than 35% of the total profit required for payout eligibility.
A 0.12% buffer is applied to the PRO consistency calculation as well.
Which is right for you?
Choose Basic if you trade consistently across multiple days and don't need a daily loss cap
Choose Basic Plus if you prefer freedom from consistency rules and can manage within a fixed daily risk limit
