Max Loss Per Trade Policy

Written by Hex Funded

The Max Loss Per Trade Policy is a strict risk management rule designed to enforce disciplined trading and prevent excessive exposure on funded capital.

Where This Rule Applies

This policy applies exclusively to the following funded accounts:

  • Instant Funding Standard Model (funded account only)

  • Instant Funding Pro Model (funded account only)

  • Hex Lightning Challenge (funded account only)

It does not apply to any evaluation phases.

The Rule

If your combined floating PnL across all open positions reaches a loss greater than 2% of your account balance, your funded account will be permanently closed.

This is not a soft breach. There is no second chance. The account is terminated immediately upon the threshold being reached.

This rule applies to the total combined floating loss across all open trades simultaneously, not to any single trade in isolation.

Why This Rule Exists

The Max Loss Per Trade Policy is a core part of Hex Funded's risk framework for instant and accelerated funding models. It exists to ensure:

  • Strong, controlled risk management at all times

  • Professional trading discipline across all open positions

  • Prevention of high-risk, all-in, or reckless trading behaviour

  • Long-term sustainability of funded accounts on these models

Traders on instant and accelerated models have bypassed or fast-tracked the standard evaluation process. In exchange, the risk controls on funded accounts are tighter. This rule reflects that structure.

What This Means for You

At no point should your combined open floating loss exceed 2% of your account balance on these models. Size your positions accordingly and manage your exposure across all open trades at all times, not just on individual positions.
