10-Four Instant – Daily Loss Limit (DLL)

P
Written by Pavlos Antoniou

The Daily Loss Limit (DLL) defines the maximum loss allowed within a single trading session. If this threshold is reached, trading will be paused for the remainder of the day.

At 10-Four Instant:

  • The DLL is a soft limit

  • Hitting the DLL does not terminate the account

  • Trading resumes automatically at the next session

  • The account is only breached if the Max Loss Limit (MLL) is violated

The DLL is designed to control intraday risk while allowing traders to continue operating long-term.

How It Works

  • The DLL is calculated based on intraday performance.

  • If your open or closed PnL reaches the Daily Loss Limit, you will be restricted from placing additional trades for that session.

  • The limit resets at the start of the next trading day.

  • The Daily Loss Limit does not replace the Max Loss Limit — both remain active risk controls.

Key Considerations

  • The $25K Instant account operates without a Daily Loss Limit.

  • The $50K and $150K Instant accounts use fixed Daily Loss Limits.

  • Responsible risk management remains the trader’s responsibility.

  • Violating the Max Loss Limit results in an account breach.

The 10-Four Instant Daily Loss Limit is structured to balance flexibility with discipline, protecting both trader capital allocation and long-term account viability.
