How do you calculate the 6% Maximum Trailing Drawdown in 1 Step Express Evaluation?

The maximum trailing drawdown is initially set at 6% of your account's starting balance and is based on a fixed amount. As your account balance increases, the trailing maximum drawdown remains in effect until you reach the 8% profit target.

Example 1: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can draw down to $94,000 before violating the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule.

Example 2: If your account balance increases to $102,000 in closed balance, this becomes your new high-water mark, meaning your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be $96,000.

Example 3: If your account balance reaches or exceeds $108,000 in closed balance, you have achieved the profit target—congratulations! You can now move to the next stage, and the Max Trailing Drawdown will no longer apply.

Example 4: If your funded account increases to $109,000 in closed balance, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown will be locked at your starting balance of $100,000. As long as you do not exceed the daily loss limit of 3%, you can continue to trade indefinitely.

How do you calculate the 3% Daily Loss Limit in 1 step Express Evaluation?

The daily loss limit is the maximum amount your account can lose in a single day. It is calculated based on the balance from the previous day, which resets daily at 00:00 GMT+2 (Standard Time) or GMT+3 (Daylight Saving Time). The daily loss limit is determined as a fixed amount. For example, on a $100,000 account, the daily loss limit is $3,000.

Example 1: If your balance at the end of the previous day (23:50 GMT+2 or GMT+3) was $100,000, your account would exceed the daily loss limit if your equity dropped to $97,000 during the day.

Example 2: If your floating equity is +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss for the new day (23:50 GMT+2 or GMT+3) is still based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000). Therefore, your daily loss limit remains at $97,000.

Example 3: If you make a $5,000 profit on a $100,000 account, your new balance at the end of the day would be $105,000. For the next day (23:50 GMT+2 or GMT+3), your daily loss limit is calculated based on this new balance, meaning your limit would be $102,000.
