The Instant Funding Account has a fixed Daily Drawdown Limit of 3%, based on the initial balance.
Example 1:
Account Size: $100,000
Daily Drawdown Limit: $3,000
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Daily Drawdown: $3,000
Stop-Out Limit: $97,000 ($100,000 – $3,000)
Day 2:
Starting Balance/Equity: $106,000
Daily Drawdown: $3,000
Stop-Out Limit: $103,000
Example 2:
End of Day 1 Balance: $105,000
End of Day 1 Equity: $103,000
Daily Drawdown Limit: $3,000
At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 3% of Initial balance will be deducted from the higher of the two. In Example 2 above since balance is higher than Equity, the stop out limit will become ($105,000 – (3% of 100,000)) = $105,000 – $3,000 = $102,000
If Either Balance Or Equity reaches the limit of $102,000, it would breach the Daily Drawdown Limit (In example 2 above, a further $1,000 loss in Equity would breach the Limit)
