Understanding Drawdown Rules
Daily Drawdown (5%)
Calculated from your daily starting balance at 00:00 UTC. This resets every day, giving you a fresh 5% risk allowance.
Example:
- • Starting balance: $50,000
- • Daily drawdown limit: $2,500 (5%)
- • Stop loss level: $47,500
- • Resets at midnight UTC
Maximum Drawdown (10%)
Calculated from your initial account balance. This is your absolute risk limit throughout the entire challenge.
Example:
- • Initial balance: $50,000
- • Max drawdown limit: $5,000 (10%)
- • Account termination: $45,000
- • Never changes during challenge
💡 Pro Tip: Always calculate your position sizes to ensure you stay within both drawdown limits. Use proper risk management - we recommend risking no more than 1-2% per trade.
Common Questions
Can I trade during news events?
Yes! Unlike many prop firms, we allow trading during all news events including NFP, FOMC, and other high-impact releases. Trade whenever you see opportunity.
Is there a minimum or maximum trading days requirement?
No minimum trading days required! You can pass your challenge in one day if you reach the profit target. There's also no maximum - take as long as you need.
What happens if I violate a rule?
If you breach the drawdown limits, your challenge ends. However, we offer discounted resets at 50% off the original price so you can try again quickly.
Do the rules change on the funded account?
The drawdown rules remain the same on your funded account to ensure consistent risk management. The main difference is no profit targets - you trade freely and withdraw profits anytime.
