Calculation

At 00:00 UTC, we take the higher value of account balance or equity and subtract from it the fixed percentage of the original account balance.


INSTANT FUNDING & 1-STEP CHALLENGE (3%)

Example 1 ($100,000 account):

If you have an open trade with $2,000 profit, your equity is $102,000. Equity must not fall below $99,000 ($102,000 - $3,000).

Example 2 ($100,000 account):

If you have an open trade with a -$2,000 loss, your equity is $98,000. Since the account balance ($100,000) is higher, it is used as the basis. Equity must not fall below $97,000 ($100,000 - $3,000).

2-STEP CHALLENGE (5%)

Example ($100,000 account):

Maximum daily loss: $5,000 (5%)

If you have equity of $103,000, equity must not fall below $98,000 ($103,000 - $5,000).


Important Notes

  • The daily loss is reset daily at 00:00 UTC reset

  • Equity = account balance + open positions

  • If exceeded, your account is stopped immediately

  • Unrealized losses from open trades count
