The daily loss limit is the maximum amount your account may lose in a single day. If your equity touches or falls below the daily loss limit, your account will be terminated.
How It Works
The daily loss limit is recalculated once per day at 08:00 PM UTC based on your account balance at that time.
Calculated using balance
Enforced using equity
Remains fixed for the entire trading day
Open positions always count toward the limit
Daily Loss Percentages
Degen Mode: 2%
1-Step Evaluation: 3%
Balance vs Equity
Balance = closed trades only
Equity = balance + open profit/loss
The daily loss limit uses your balance for calculation, but your equity for enforcement.
Example (1-Step Evaluation)
Starting balance: $100,000
Daily loss percentage: 3%
Time | Balance | Daily Loss Limit |
Day 1 – 08:00 PM UTC | $100,000 | $97,000 |
Day 2 – 08:00 PM UTC | $120,000 | $116,400 |
Day 3 – 08:00 PM UTC | $118,000 | $114,460 |
The daily loss limit does not move during the day, even if your balance or equity changes after the 08:00 PM UTC reset.
Note: Funded accounts use the same daily loss percentages as evaluations, but payouts reset the daily loss limit. For more details, see Daily Loss Limit (Funded Accounts).
