š 3% Daily Drawdown
Rule: Donāt lose more than 3% of your balance in one day.
Example: If your account is $100,000, the most you can lose in a day is $3,000. If your equity drops below $97,000 at any point in the day, the account is breached.
Why: Keeps traders from blowing accounts in a single session. Promotes discipline and risk control.
š 6% Max Drawdown
Rule: Donāt lose more than 6% from your starting balance overall.
Example: On a $100,000 account, your account canāt drop below $94,000. Even if losses happen over several days, once that line is crossed, itās over.
Why: Protects the firmās capital and ensures traders donāt spiral into unrecoverable losses.
š 1.5% Floating Drawdown Per Trade
Rule: No single open trade may carry a floating loss exceeding 1.5% of your account balance.
Example: On a $100,000 account, if any one trade's floating loss reaches $1,500, it must be closed or reduced before it breaches this rule.
Why: Stops one runaway position from eating into your overall drawdown limit on its own.
š° Trading News Allowed
