The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount you are allowed to lose during a single trading day. This limit includes both realized (closed) and unrealized (floating) losses.
If your total daily loss reaches or exceeds the allowed limit at any time, your account will be considered in violation of the trading rules and will automatically fail.
The Daily Loss Limit is designed to promote disciplined risk management and protect traders from excessive losses.
Important: The Daily Loss Limit resets automatically at the beginning of each new trading day.
Which Winbance Accounts Have a Daily Loss Limit?
The Daily Loss Limit depends on the account type you choose.
Challenge EDGE
Challenge EDGE accounts include a Daily Loss Limit as part of their structured risk management rules.
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$15,000 | $300 |
$50,000 | $1,000 |
$100,000 | $2,000 |
$150,000 | $3,000 |

Direct Pass (instant account)
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$10,000 | $250 |
$25,000 | $500 |

Direct Pass Freedom (instant account Pro)

How is the Daily Loss Calculated?
Your Daily Loss is calculated using:
Closed losses
Open (floating) losses
Both values are combined in real time to determine whether you have exceeded your daily limit.
Example
You are trading a $100,000 Challenge EDGE account with a Daily Loss Limit of $2,000.
Closed losses: -$1,400
Floating loss: -$700
Your total Daily Loss is -$2,100.
Since this exceeds the $2,000 Daily Loss Limit, your account will automatically be considered failed.
Does Commission Count?
Yes.
Trading commissions and fees are included in your overall trading results and may contribute to reaching your Daily Loss Limit. We recommend managing position sizes carefully, especially when trading multiple contracts.
Can I Continue Trading After Reaching the Daily Loss Limit?
No.
Once your Daily Loss Limit has been exceeded, the account is immediately considered to have violated the rules. Trading cannot continue, and the Challenge will no longer be eligible for qualification.
Note: This rule applies only to Challenge EDGE accounts and Direct Pass. Challenge FLEX accounts and Direct pass Freedom do not have a Daily Loss Limit.
