Elite Daily V2 – Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
The Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is a daily risk protection rule designed to encourage responsible risk management and disciplined trading.
The DLL applies during both the evaluation and funded phases of the Elite Daily plan.
Daily Loss Limit by Account Size
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit | Percentage
$25,000 | $500 | 2.00%
$50,000 | $1,000 | 2.00%
$100,000 | $1,250 | 1.25%
$150,000 | $1,750 | 1.167%
How Is It Calculated?
The Daily Loss Limit is calculated using your previous trading day’s closing balance.
Example – $25K Account
- Daily Loss Limit: $500
- Previous day closing balance: $26,000
Your breach level for the current trading day becomes:
$26,000 − $500 = $25,500
If your account equity or balance drops to $25,500 during the trading day, this is considered a DLL violation.
What Counts Toward the DLL?
The following are included in the calculation:
- Realized losses
- Unrealized/floating losses
- Commissions and fees
Both balance and equity are monitored.
Daily Reset
The DLL resets once per trading day based on the previous trading day’s closing balance.
After the reset:
- A new DLL threshold is calculated
- The account receives a new daily risk limit
Important Disclaimer
The Daily Loss Limit is a risk rule, not a stop loss.
It should never be relied on to manage trade exits.
Due to:
- Market volatility
- Slippage
- Execution speed
- Market gaps
The DLL may:
- Trigger later than expected
- Trigger earlier than expected
- Execute at a different price than expected
Traders should always use proper hard stop losses directly on their trades.
Top One Futures is not responsible for losses exceeding the Daily Loss Limit.
What Happens If the DLL Is Violated?
Evaluation Accounts
Violating the DLL during evaluation results in a pause, your account wil lautomatically unpause the next trading day.
Funded Accounts
Violating the DLL on a funded account results in a soft breach:
- Trading is paused for the remainder of the trading day
- Trading may resume the next trading day
- Provided the account has not violated the Max Trailing Drawdown
Key Notes
- DLL applies to both evaluation and funded accounts
- DLL resets daily using the previous day’s closing balance
- Both realized and unrealized losses count
- DLL is separate from the End of Day Trailing Drawdown
Summary
- Daily risk protection rule
- Based on previous day closing balance
- Includes floating losses
- Evaluation breach = failed account
- Funded breach = daily trading pause
