End of Day trailing drawdown
- The Max Loss Limit is based on your closed balance at the end of each trading day.
- A profitable day can move it up. A losing day leaves it where it is. Intraday swings and open profit never move it.
- 25K: once the account has made $1,000 of profit, the floor locks at $25,000 and stops trailing.
- 50K, 100K, 150K: the floor locks at $100 above the starting balance.
- Close a day at or below the Max Loss Limit and the account is breached. A breach is final: reset the account or start a new challenge.
Daily loss limit
- You choose at checkout, on every size: no daily loss limit (the default), or a soft-lock daily loss limit of $600 (25K), $1,200 (50K), $1,800 (100K) or $2,700 (150K). Choosing it lowers the price.
Section: Daily loss limit
− - If you choose it, it applies in the evaluation and once funded, measured from your last end-of-day balance.
− - A soft lock is not a breach. Trading stops for the rest of the day and resumes at the next trading day.
+ - If you choose it, it applies in the evaluation and once funded. The level is measured from the higher of your balance and equity at the previous daily close.
+ - A soft lock is not a breach. If your equity reaches it, trading is locked for 24 hours from that moment; the account stays open.
+ - Daily loss limit: on Elite only if you chose it at checkout; always on for Prime, Ultra and Oracle; Nitro and Instant have none.
Contracts
In the evaluation you have the full allowance from day one: 2, 4, 8 or 12 contracts. Once funded, contracts scale with profit:
| Size | Contracts by profit on the account |
|---|
100K | 2 below $2,000 · 4 from $2,000 · 6 from $3,499 · 8 from $4,499
150K | 3 below $2,500 · 6 from $2,500 · 9 from $4,499 · 12 from $5,499
The limit counts contracts held at the same time across all instruments. Going over it is a rule breach.
