Discipline Score
The Discipline Score is a FairTicks behavioral score from 0 to 100. It measures how controlled and repeatable your trading behavior is, based on your recent closed trading activity.
Profit alone does not prove discipline. The Discipline Score helps FairTicks understand whether your trading process shows control, valid execution, stop-loss discipline, consistency, and limited reactive behavior.
The most important thing to understand
Your Discipline Score is attached to your FairTicks user profile. It is calculated from your recent closed trading activity across your FairTicks accounts, not from only one individual account.
This means the score can appear in account dashboards, but it represents your broader recent trading behavior as a FairTicks trader.
What the Discipline Score is used for
The main operational use of the Discipline Score is to determine your consistency threshold. This threshold is used in the consistency rule, especially for Live / Straight account payout eligibility.
| Where you see it | What it means | Does it block the account? |
|---|---|---|
| Training account | Visible as an information and behavior metric. | No. It does not currently block Training pass status or Live generation by itself. |
| Live / Straight account | Used to set the allowed consistency threshold for payout eligibility. | It can indirectly block payout if consistency is not satisfied. |
Discipline Score is not a breach rule by itself. A low score does not automatically breach your account. Its main impact is on the consistency threshold used for Live / Straight payout eligibility.
How the Discipline Score flows through FairTicks
| Step | What happens | Trader-facing result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. You close trades | FairTicks records closed trading activity. | Open positions do not count until closed. |
| 2. FairTicks reviews recent behavior | The system looks at recent closed trades and daily trading behavior. | Very old activity may no longer represent your current score. |
| 3. Discipline Score is calculated | The score updates from 0 to 100 based on behavior signals. | Your dashboard shows the score and trades analysed. |
| 4. Consistency threshold is set | The score determines the maximum allowed best-day ratio. | Higher Discipline Score can unlock a more flexible consistency threshold. |
| 5. Payout eligibility is checked | On Live / Straight accounts, consistency can block payout if the ratio is above the allowed threshold. | You may need to improve consistency before requesting payout. |
When does the Discipline Score unlock?
FairTicks needs enough closed trading activity before the Discipline Score becomes meaningful. Until enough closed trades are analysed, the score can remain locked at 0.
The Discipline Score starts unlocking after 80 closed trades have been analysed. Before that, the dashboard may show how many more trades are needed to unlock the score.
52 trades analysed · 28 more to unlock
This means FairTicks has not analysed enough closed trades yet. Your Discipline Score may still show 0 / 100 until the unlock threshold is reached.
After the score unlocks, it becomes progressively more reliable as more closed trades are recorded.
While the score is locked at 0, the consistency threshold can remain at the strictest level. This matters for Live / Straight payout eligibility.
What the Discipline Score measures
The score is based on several observable behavior areas. FairTicks does not publish the full internal calculation formula, but the main trader-facing signals are explained below.
| Behavior area | What FairTicks looks at | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Stop-loss discipline | Whether closed trades used stop-loss structure where relevant, and whether stop usage reflects controlled risk. | Shows whether the trader uses protective structure instead of uncontrolled exposure. |
| Valid trade behavior | The share of closed trades that qualify as valid according to FairTicks trading rules. | Shows whether the trader is producing meaningful trading activity, not only noise. |
| Daily consistency | How stable positive daily results are across recorded trading days. | Shows whether performance is spread more evenly instead of coming from unstable spikes. |
| Reverse trade behavior | How often reverse trades are used in recent closed activity. | Frequent reversals can indicate reactive or impulsive behavior. |
What affects the score?
1. Stop-loss discipline
FairTicks rewards controlled stop-loss behavior. On accounts where stop loss is part of the account rules, using protective stops consistently helps show discipline.
The score does not only ask, “Was there a stop?” It also looks for behavior that reflects reasonable risk control.
A trader who consistently opens positions with clear stop-loss structure shows stronger discipline than a trader who repeatedly takes positions with weak or missing protection where stop loss is expected.
2. Valid trade behavior
FairTicks separates valid trading activity from low-quality or insufficient activity. Valid trades help show that the trader is engaging with the evaluation in a meaningful way.
This is connected to the FairTicks valid trade and NP Score framework.
The Discipline Score does not reward simply opening many positions. It rewards recent closed trading activity that respects FairTicks quality rules.
3. Daily consistency behavior
The Discipline Score also looks at the stability of positive daily results. This is not the same as the payout consistency rule, but both concepts are related.
A trader whose positive days are extremely uneven may show weaker daily consistency than a trader whose results are more stable.
4. Reverse trade behavior
Reverse trading can be a valid feature when used correctly. However, frequent reverse trades can signal reactive decision-making, especially when they happen repeatedly.
FairTicks can reflect this behavior in the Discipline Score when reverse trades are recorded in recent closed activity.
What does not directly improve the score?
- Making one large profit does not automatically create a high Discipline Score.
- Holding open PnL does not count until positions are closed and recorded.
- Choosing a specific market does not directly increase the score.
- Using a larger account size does not directly increase the score.
- Opening many low-quality trades does not automatically improve the score.
The score is behavioral. It is not a reward for profit alone. However, the distribution of positive daily results can still affect the daily consistency behavior area.
Discipline Score and consistency threshold
Your Discipline Score determines the maximum allowed consistency ratio. The consistency ratio checks how much of your total positive profit comes from your best positive day.
A higher Discipline Score can unlock a more flexible consistency threshold. A lower Discipline Score applies a stricter threshold.
| Discipline Score | Maximum allowed consistency ratio | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Below 20 | 20% | Strictest threshold. |
| 20 – 34 | 25% | More room, but still strict. |
| 35 – 49 | 30% | Standard threshold. |
| 50 – 64 | 38% | Moderate flexibility. |
| 65 – 79 | 45% | High flexibility. |
| 80 and above | 50% | Maximum consistency flexibility. |
Example — how Discipline Score affects payout consistency
Discipline Score: 18
Maximum allowed consistency ratio: 20%
Total positive profit: $1,000
Best positive day allowed: $1,000 × 20% = $200
If the best positive day is more than $200, consistency is not satisfied.
Discipline Score: 72
Maximum allowed consistency ratio: 45%
Total positive profit: $1,000
Best positive day allowed: $1,000 × 45% = $450
This trader has more flexibility because their Discipline Score allows a higher threshold.
A higher Discipline Score does not guarantee payout. It only affects the consistency threshold. Payout still requires all other payout conditions, including no open positions, KYC when required, minimum Live/Straight account days, minimum trading days, NP Score, wallet validation, and no pending payout.
Can the Discipline Score go down?
Yes. The Discipline Score is based on recent closed trading behavior. If recent behavior becomes less controlled, the score can decrease.
Because the score is based on a rolling view of recent activity, older behavior may have less influence over time.
A trader builds a strong score through controlled trading, valid trades, good stop usage, and limited reversals. Later, the trader starts overusing reverse trades and produces unstable daily results. The score can decrease because the recent behavior changed.
Is the Discipline Score visible?
Yes. The Discipline Score can be visible in your dashboard, usually alongside other account metrics such as NP Score, consistency, and trading day information.
Your dashboard can also show how many trades have been analysed and whether more trades are needed to unlock the score.
Discipline Score: 0 / 100
Trades analysed: 63
More to unlock: 17
Discipline Score is not limited to Discipline accounts
Despite the name, Discipline Score is not only for Discipline / Precision accounts. It is a user-level behavioral score and can be visible across account models.
The important distinction is not the account model. The important distinction is the account stage: Training visibility is informational, while Live / Straight impact is mainly through payout consistency.
| Account type | Discipline Score role |
|---|---|
| Training accounts | Visible as an informational behavior metric. Does not currently block pass status or Live generation by itself. |
| Live / Straight accounts | Used to determine the consistency threshold that can affect payout eligibility. |
Common questions
“Does Discipline Score block my Training account from passing?”
No. Discipline Score does not currently block Training pass status or Live generation by itself. It may be visible during Training as an informational behavior metric.
“Does Discipline Score affect payout?”
Yes, indirectly. On Live / Straight accounts, Discipline Score determines the consistency threshold. If the consistency rule is not satisfied, payout eligibility can be blocked.
“Why is my Discipline Score 0?”
The score can remain locked at 0 until enough closed trades have been analysed. The dashboard may show how many more trades are needed to unlock the score.
“Do open positions count?”
No. Open positions do not count until they are closed and recorded.
“Is the score calculated only on my current account?”
No. The Discipline Score is attached to your FairTicks user profile and is based on recent closed trading activity across your FairTicks accounts.
“Is Discipline Score only for Discipline accounts?”
No. The name refers to trading behavior, not only to the Discipline / Precision account model.
“Can I improve the score by making one big winning trade?”
No. The score is not a profit bonus. It is based on behavior signals such as valid trade behavior, stop-loss discipline, daily consistency, and reverse trade usage.
“Does a low Discipline Score breach my account?”
No. A low score does not automatically breach your account. It can make the consistency threshold stricter, which can affect Live / Straight payout eligibility.
“Why did my threshold become stricter?”
Your consistency threshold is linked to your Discipline Score. If the score is low or still locked, the allowed best-day ratio can be stricter.
