How do you calculate the 3% Daily Loss Limit in 1 step normal challenge?

The daily loss limit is the maximum amount your account can lose in a single day. We calculate the daily loss limit using the balance from the previous day, which resets at 5PM EST. The daily loss level is determined by a fixed amount, which will be $3,000 for a $100,000 account.

Example 1: If your balance at the end of the previous day (5pm EST) 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 (5pm EST) is based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000). Therefore, your daily loss limit would still be $97,000.

Example 3: If you make a $5,000 profit on a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss for the new day (5pm EST) is based on the balance from the previous day ($105,000). Hence, your daily loss limit would be $102,000.
