Within our ecosystem, we have two methods of Daily Drawdown Calculation. The new method applies to accounts purchased AFTER September 22nd, 2025 at 11:00 AM CET, while the previous method applies to accounts purchased BEFORE September 22nd, 2025 at 11:00 AM CET. Both methods are explained below.
New Method: Daily Drawdown Calculation for Accounts purchased AFTER September 22nd, 2025 at 11:00 AM CET.
Daily Drawdown Limits by Plan
Plan | Daily Drawdown |
2-Step Bright | 4% |
2-Step Classic | 5% |
1-Step | 3% |
The daily loss limit is always calculated as a percentage of your original challenge size — it never changes regardless of your current balance. At rollover, we use the highest value between your balance and equity to determine your minimum level for the next day.
⚠️ The daily limit resets every day between 11:30 PM – 11:59 PM CET(rollover). It is not recommended to trade during this window.
Examples
Open Trade During Rollover (Profit)
Account balance: $100,000
Open trade: +$1,000 profit
At rollover:
Balance: $100,000
Equity: $101,000
EOD Highest Value: $101,000 ← equity is higher
👉 EOD Highest Value = $101,000. Loss limit is based on the original $100,000 challenge size. Next day, your account cannot drop below:
Plan | Daily Drawdown | Loss Limit | Minimum Level |
2-Step Bright | 4% | $4,000 | $97,000 |
2-Step Classic | 5% | $5,000 | $96,000 |
1-Step | 3% | $3,000 | $98,000 |
The minimum level = EOD Highest Value – Loss Limit.

Previous Method: Daily Drawdown Calculation for Accounts purchased BEFORE September 22nd of 2025 at 11:00 AM CET.
The daily permitted loss is always 5% of the size of your Challenge.
Example: For a $100,000 Challenge Account, that means it's always $5,000 (5%).
⚠️Important Points:
The Daily Permitted Loss is Balance Based.
The daily permitted loss always resets between 11:30 PM CET and 11:59 PM CET (rollover). During this period it is not recommended to trade.
Between 11:30 PM CET and 11:59 PM CET we take your balance. (Rollover)
Scenario With Trade Open during Rollover (Change of the day):
At 00:00 CET your balance is $100,000 and you have a trade open with $1,000 in profit.
Balance: $100,000 (Still at $100,000 because the trade is not closed)
Equity: $101,000 (Because you have a trade open with $1,000 in profit)
We take your Balance of $100,000 and you Daily Permitted Loss is $5,000 so your Balance or Equity cannot be lower than $95,000.
Scenario With Trade Closed during Rollover (Change of the day):
At 00:00 CET your balance is $101,000 because you close a trade with $1,000 in profit this day.
Balance: $101,000 (because you close a trade with $1,000 in profit)
Equity: $101,000
We take your balance of $101,000 and you Daily Permitted Loss is $5,000 so your Balance or Equity can not be lower than $96,000.
