Maximum Daily Loss – 3% Static Rule
Our daily loss rule is fixed at 3% of your initial account balance, and does not trail or adjust based on profits.
How does it work?
If you have a $100,000 account and at 5:00 p.m. EST your account is showing a floating profit of $2,000, your equity is $102,000.
Your maximum daily loss is still calculated from the initial account balance, so:
$100,000 × 3% = $3,000
That means your account cannot drop below $99,000 the next day — no matter how much profit you had.
If your equity falls below $99,000 at any time during the next trading day, you will violate the rule and lose the account.
