How it works
Two limits. Equity must stay above both.

Your account has two risk limits. If your equity reaches either limit at any time, the account is closed automatically.

Passing a Challenge

TL;DR
To pass a challenge:
There are no minimum trading days, no consistency rules, and no time limit; however, at least one trade must be placed every 90 days to keep the account active.
Daily Loss Limit
Daily loss is the maximum amount your account can lose in a single calendar day. It recalculates daily at 00:00 UTC and is recalculated each day based on your account balance. Because of this, the daily loss level can move up or down over time. In the event of a payout, the daily loss level is reduced by the payout amount.

Daily Loss Limit Example
Start balance: $100,000 → 3% = $3,000 → Daily loss level: $97,000
End-day balance: $110,000 → 3% = $3,300 → New level: $106,700
Maximum Drawdown Limit
Maximum drawdown is the maximum total loss allowed over the life of the account. The percentage depends on the challenge type (e.g., 6% on 1-Step and 8% on 2-Step challenges). It is calculated from your highest balance reached (High Water Mark) and can only move up as your balance reaches new highs. It does not move down when losses occur. In the event of a payout, both the High Water Mark and the drawdown level are reduced by the payout amount.

Maximum Drawdown Limit Example
Example (1-Step Challenge):
Start balance: $100,000
Drawdown buffer: $6,000 → Drawdown level: $94,000
Highest balance: $105,000 → New drawdown level: $99,000
Example (2-Step Challenge):
Start balance: $100,000
Drawdown buffer: $8,000 → Drawdown level: $92,000
Highest balance: $105,000 → New drawdown level: $97,000
Bottom line
Equity must remain above both risk limits, daily loss recalculates each day, maximum drawdown follows your highest balance, profit targets require realized profits, and all limit levels are visible on the dashboard and terminal.
