What is the Maximum Daily Loss in the Instant Funding Program?

Updated over a week ago

The Maximum Daily Loss is the largest amount you can lose in a single trading day.


It’s calculated from the higher value of your account’s starting balance and starting equity at the start of each trading day.

Your equity, which includes both floating P&L and closed trades, must never fall more than 3% below that starting value.


If your equity drops beyond this limit, it’s considered a breach.

The Maximum Daily Loss resets every day at 9:00 PM UTC, giving you a fresh limit for the next trading session.


EXAMPLE 1:

You hold a $40,000 Instant Funding account.

At the start of Day 7:

  • Your balance is $40,000

  • Your equity is $41,000

Since equity is higher, we calculate the Daily Loss Limit from $41,000.

  • 3% of $41,000 = $1,230

  • $41,000 - $1,230 = $39,770

If your equity drops below $39,770 at any time during Day 7, your account will be closed.


EXAMPLE 2:

You hold a $40,000 Instant Funding account.

At the start of Day 8:

  • Your balance is $42,000

  • Your equity is $41,000

Since the balance is higher, we calculate the Daily Loss Limit from $42,000.

  • 3% of $42,000 = $1,260

  • $42,000 - $1,260 = $40,740

If your equity drops below $40,740 at any time during Day 8, your account will be closed.
