What is the Maximum Daily Loss?

1-Step Challenge/1-Step Prime Challenge/ Instant Funding:

The maximum allowable daily loss is 3% and it is calculated strictly based on equity. Each day at 12:00am CEST, we assess your account equity at that exact moment. The daily loss limit for the next trading day is then calculated as 3% of that equity value. Your equity must not fall below that calculated threshold at any time during the following trading day.

Example 1: Consider a $100,000 account. At 12:00am CEST, you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, which means your equity is $102,000. The daily loss limit is 3% of $102,000, which equals $3,060. Therefore, during the next trading day, your equity must not fall below $98,940.

Example 2: On the same $100,000 account, if at 12:00am CEST you have an open trade showing a floating loss of $2,000, your equity is $98,000. The daily loss is calculated as 3% of $98,000, which equals $2,940. This means that for the next trading day, your equity must not fall below $95,060.

Example 3: If there are no open trades at 12:00am CEST and your balance is $100,000, your equity is also $100,000. The daily drawdown will therefore be 3% of $100,000, which equals $3,000. Your equity must not fall below $97,000 during the next trading day.

2-Step Challenge:

The maximum allowable daily loss is 5% and it is also calculated strictly based on equity. Each day at 12:00am CEST, we record your account equity. The daily loss limit for the following trading day is calculated as 5% of that equity value. Your equity must not fall below this calculated level at any time during the day.

Example 1: Consider a $100,000 account. At 12:00am CEST, you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, meaning your equity is $102,000. The daily loss is 5% of $102,000, which equals $5,100. Therefore, during the next trading day, your equity must not fall below $96,900.

Example 2: On the same account, if at 12:00am CEST you have a floating loss of $2,000 and your equity is $98,000, the daily loss is calculated as 5% of $98,000, which equals $4,900. This means your equity must not fall below $93,100 during the next trading day.

Example 3: If there are no open trades at 12:00am CEST and your balance is $100,000, the daily drawdown is 5% of $100,000, which equals $5,000. Your equity must not fall below $95,000.
