The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit is 2% of the Initial Balance.
Example 1:
For a $100,000 1-Step Nitro Pro Evaluation, the Daily Drawdown is 2% of the Initial Balance.
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Allowed Daily Drawdown: 2% of $100,000 = $2,000 (stop-out limit = $98,000)
Example 2:
Day 2:
End of Day Balance (Day 1): $104,000
End of Day Equity (Day 1): $103,000
At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 2% 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 ($104,000 – (2% of 100,000)) = $104,000 – $2,000 = $102,000
If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
