What happens if you hit it

What happens

Soft breach

Trading is paused for the rest of the trading day.

Resume trading

You can trade again the next trading day, as long as you have not hit the max drawdown.

How it is calculated

  • The daily loss limit resets every day, based on the previous day's closing balance.

  • Both realized and unrealized losses count.

  • A trading day runs from 6:00 PM ET to 4:10 PM ET.

  • The daily loss limit is separate from the max drawdown.

No daily loss limit add-on

When you pay the activation fee, you can remove the funded daily loss limit for +$30.

Important: the daily loss limit is a risk management tool, not a stop loss. It may execute late or early, or fill at a different price than expected. Place hard stop loss orders on your trades. Any loss beyond your allowed limit is the trader's responsibility.
