What Are the Loss Limit Rules in a Challenge Account?

Updated over 2 months ago

Winbance Challenge Accounts are designed to evaluate your trading discipline and risk control.
To maintain fairness and protect account integrity, each challenge includes strict loss limit rules that must be followed at all times.

There are three key rules you must respect:


1. ๐Ÿ”ป Daily Loss Limit

This is the maximum amount youโ€™re allowed to lose in a single trading day, including both closed and open positions.

  • If you reach this limit, your account will be temporarily suspended for the day.

  • You can resume trading the next day as long as the limit was not exceeded.

  • Exceeding the limit even by a small amount will cause the account to fail immediately.

๐Ÿ“Œ Example:
In a $50,000 account, the daily loss limit is $1,100. If your closed loss is $800 and an open trade drops by $400, you're over the limit, and the account fails.


2. ๐Ÿ“‰ Drawdown (EOD) โ€“ Total Loss Limit

This is your accountโ€™s maximum allowable drawdown, calculated at the end of each trading day.
It includes all closed trades and floating trades at the end of day.

  • If your account balance falls below the EOD Drawdown limit, your account is permanently closed.

  • Unlike daily loss, this rule does not reset โ€” it applies throughout the entire challenge period.

๐Ÿ“Œ Example:
On a $100,000 account with a $2,500 EOD drawdown, your account must stay above $97,500.
If it drops below this level (including open losses at market close), the account fails.


3. ๐Ÿ“Š Consistency Rule

This rule ensures you're demonstrating steady and realistic performance, rather than relying on one oversized trade.

  • You cannot make more than 50% of your profit target in a single trading day.

  • This applies to Challenge Accounts and helps evaluate long-term trading behavior.

๐Ÿ“Œ Example:
On a $15,000 Challenge Account with a $1,200 profit target, your daily profit must not exceed $600.
Violating this rule once will lead to a warning and profit adjustment, and a second violation will result in account suspension.
