What Counts as a Trading Day?

To count toward your minimum trading day requirement, a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial balance must be generated on that day.

• Trading days do not have to be consecutive. ​
• Days when the 0.5% minimum profit is not met do not count toward the requirement, but you can continue trading as usual.

Account Violations (Hard Breach)

Violation of these rules results in immediate account closure. ​

1. Maximum Overall Loss

The maximum overall loss is 6% of your highest recorded account value, making it a trailing drawdown. This means your protection level increases as your account grows, and it always remains 6% below your highest value achieved.

How is it calculated?

The limit is calculated based on your highest account value. When your account value increases, the limit automatically adjusts to match the new high, remaining exactly 6% below your peak value. ​

If your account value later decreases, the limit remains fixed - it never drops once set. ​

Example - For a $100,000 account:

• If your account value reaches $104,000, your maximum overall loss level becomes $97,760 (6% below your highest value). ​ ​
• If your account value later falls to $101,000, your limit remains at $97,760, since it's always based on the highest value achieved.

📌 Your drawdown limit follows your highest account value and remains 6% below that peak at all times.

2. Maximum Floating Loss

If your floating profit and loss (PnL) drops below -1% of your account balance at any moment, this rule is breached. This rule enforces strict risk management and prevents excessive losses. ​

For example, on a $100,000 account, if your combined open trade losses reach -$1,000 (-1%), the rule is breached.

This rule operates on a warning system:

• First breach: you receive a warning and your profit split is reduced to 40%. ​ ​
• Second breach: your account is permanently closed.
