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
