1) Daily Drawdown Limit
The daily drawdown is the maximum amount of loss you’re allowed to incur on your account in a single trading day. It is calculated based on either:
The previous day's ending balance (EOD), or the current day's starting balance (both are the same thing)
🔒 Important: Our drawdown is balance-based, which means open PNL (unrealized profit/loss) is not considered when calculating the drawdown limit.
Your challenge or funded account's Equity/Balance must not hit or fall below the drawdown limit shown on your dashboard at any time during the day. Violating this rule will result in a breach of your account.
A daily loss limit reset countdown timer is available on your dashboard to help you track when your limit refreshes.
✅ Example 1: After a Profitable Day
Previous Day Ending Balance: $10,150 ($150 profit)
Daily Drawdown Limit: 5%
Daily Maximum Loss Allowed Today: $507.5
Daily Drawdown Threshold: $9,642.50
If your balance/equity drops to $9,642.50 or below at any time today, you breach the daily drawdown rule.
❌ Example 2: After a Losing Day
Previous Day Ending Balance: $9,950 ($50 lost)
Daily Drawdown Limit: 5%
Maximum Loss Allowed Today: $497.50
Daily Drawdown Threshold: $9,452.50
If your balance/equity hits $9,452.50 or lower during the day, the account is in violation.
2) Maximum Drawdown Limit
1️⃣ Static Drawdown
Your maximum loss limit is the total amount of loss your account can sustain. At any time, your balance or equity must remain above this limit, it cannot fall below the threshold set for your account.
➡️ The key point: this is a static drawdown, not a trailing drawdown.
Static drawdown means the limit is fixed from the start, based on your initial balance.
It does not move upward as you make profits.
Your maximum loss allowance stays the same throughout all stages, giving you a consistent and predictable risk boundary.
Example
Suppose your starting balance is $100,000 and your maximum loss limit is $5,000.
With a static drawdown, your account can never drop below $95,000 in balance or equity.
Even if you grow your account to $110,000, the loss limit remains at $95,000.
Unlike a trailing drawdown, which would shift upward as your profits increase, the static drawdown stays locked at the original level.
✅ This makes static drawdown easier to plan around: you always know your risk boundary, no matter how much your account grows.
