Account limits
Daily loss limit
How much your equity may fall in one trading day. Every daily limit is set from your equity at the 00:00 UTC reset.
The daily loss limit caps how far your equity can fall within one day. Going below the day's floor breaches the account. The day resets at 00:00 UTC for every account.
| Program | Daily limit | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Instant Funded | 3% | Trailing, end of day |
| Access, evaluation | 5% | Trailing, end of day |
| Access, funded | 3% | Trailing, end of day |
| 1-Step | 4% | Static |
| 2-Step | 5% | Static |
| Instant Zero, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Pro | None | — |
How the daily floor is set
At each daily reset (00:00 UTC) a new floor is set from your equity at that moment. It stays fixed for the rest of the day, then resets again at the next 00:00 UTC. What differs between programs is how far below your equity the floor sits: a static amount, or a share of your equity (trailing, end of day).
- The anchor is your equity at the reset, including any trades you held overnight. If you carry a losing trade past midnight, your new day starts from that lower equity.
- Profit made during the day, open or closed, does not raise today's floor. It moves the next day's floor, because that starts from your equity at the next reset.
- The breach check is live: your equity must stay above today's floor at all times.
Static
Used by 1-Step and 2-Step.
Your daily allowance is a fixed dollar amount: the limit times your account size. It is the same every day, whether your equity is above or below where you started.
Daily floor
Daily floor = Equity at 00:00 UTC − (limit × account size)
| Daily allowance (5% of $100,000) | $5,000 |
| Equity at 00:00 UTC | $102,000 |
| Daily floor for the day | $97,000 |
| Your equity may not go below | $97,000, until the next reset |
Trailing, end of day
Used by Instant Funded and Access.
Your daily allowance is a share of your equity at the reset, so it grows and shrinks with your account.
Daily floor
Daily floor = Equity at 00:00 UTC × (1 − limit)
| Equity at 00:00 UTC | $25,400 |
| Daily floor for the day | $24,638 |
| An open trade lifts equity to $26,200 | floor stays at $24,638 |
| Equity at the next 00:00 UTC is $25,900 | |
| Daily floor for the next day | $25,123 |
Things that do not count against the day
- Profit deducted by the news, short-trade or margin-usage rules. A deduction can never cause a daily breach.
- A payout you withdraw today. The day's floor is lowered by the amount paid out.
When is the reset?
00:00 UTC, every day, for every account. In London that is 01:00 in summer (BST) and 00:00 in winter. The Daily reset card on the Statistics page counts down to it.
