What is SFX Protect?
SFX Protect is SFX Funded’s risk management system designed to safeguard traders against excessive losses on funded accounts. Our data shows that over 76% of account breaches occur due to violating Maximum Daily loss limits. The most consistent and successful traders know how to cut losses early and let winners run. SFX Protect enforces this discipline to help traders stay in the game longer and build consistent profitability.
How does SFX Protect work?
SFX Protect monitors the floating losses across all open trades. If your open PnL reaches the defined floating drawdown limit, SFX Protect will automatically close all open positions across all symbols to prevent further losses.
This is a soft breach, meaning you are not disqualified and can continue trading immediately after the system intervenes.

Why does SFX Funded use SFX Protect?
SFX Protect ensures traders manage their risk with discipline. Rather than letting emotions or overconfidence lead to blown accounts, SFX Protect gives traders a second chance by enforcing smart risk controls without immediate disqualification.
Can I continue trading after SFX Protect is triggered?
Yes. SFX Protect doesn't ban you from trading. Your trades are closed, but your account remains active (unless it’s your final warning, as per the rules above). This allows you to regroup, reassess, and re-enter the market with more control.
