Risk Parameters
Max Daily Drawdown: 3%
The maximum your account equity can lose within a single trading day is 3% of your initial account balance.
The daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. At reset, the system takes the higher of your balance or equity as the starting point for the new day. Your equity must not fall more than 3% from that value at any point during the trading day.
Example:
Initial balance: $100,000
Daily loss limit: $3,000
Equity must not fall below $97,000 at any point during the trading day
Maximum Total Drawdown: 5% (Trailing)
The maximum total drawdown is a 5% trailing limit based on your initial account balance.
The limit trails upward as your equity reaches new highs
It is calculated as your highest equity point minus 5% of your initial balance
It never moves downward
Example:
Initial balance: $100,000 - Max drawdown limit starts at $95,000
Equity reaches $110,000 - Max drawdown limit moves up to $105,000
Your equity must never fall below the current locked value at any time
Consistency Rule: 15% (Funded Account)
No single trading day may represent 15% or more of your total profit within a payout cycle. This rule does not breach the account - it delays payout eligibility until your profits are more evenly distributed.
Example:
Your best day: $1,500 profit
15% of total profits must not exceed $1,500
You must reach at least $10,000 in total profit before requesting a payout
Max Risk Rule (Funded Account Only): 2.5% - Violating this is a hard breach and results in immediate account termination.
Biggest Loss Cannot Exceed Biggest Win (Funded Account Only)
Your largest single loss on the account must not exceed your largest single win. If your biggest loss is greater than your biggest win, you must continue trading until this is corrected.
This rule does not breach the account - it delays payout eligibility until the condition is met.
Minimum Trading Days (Funded Account)
To be eligible for payouts on your funded account, you must complete 5 separate qualifying trading days, each with a minimum of 0.5% profit. These days do not need to be consecutive.
