How to read this page
Pick your account type: each type has its own complete rule set, and some types have levels.
The key numbers come first. Every rule below shows the firm's own sentence and a link to the page it came from.
The badge on each rule says what an independent review can check from a read-only login.

Loss limits
How much you may lose in a day and overall, and how large a position can be.
Applies
Maximum daily lossRead-only login
Realized loss within one server day, as a share of the balance.
Realized loss in one day may not reach 5% of the balance at the start of the day.
Realized loss from closed trades, plus the floating equity path rebuilt from the broker's 1-minute bars: a breach on bar closes is certain, one only on bar extremes is reported as undecidable.
Realized drawdown from the initial balance, or trailing from the highest realized balance.
Realized drawdown may not reach 6% trailing from the highest balance.
Realized drawdown from closed trades and balance operations, plus the floating equity path rebuilt from the broker's 1-minute bars (certain on closes, undecidable on extremes only).
Distance to stop loss times contract size and lots, as a share of the starting balance.
At most 2% of the starting balance at risk per position at the stop loss. Positions of the same direction on one instrument opened within 10 minutes count as one trade idea; their risk is summed. An opposite trade on the instrument ends the idea. No trade idea may close with a realized loss above 2% of the balance it started from.
Stop distance and realized loss come from history; a fired floating-loss protector shows as a stop-out exit in the trade record.
Closing a position in parts: whether it is allowed, and whether the remainder must be closed within the same trading day.
Positions may be closed in parts intraday; the remainder must be closed within the same trading day (no overnight remainder).
Read from the position's closing deals in the account history: every partial close with its time and volume.
“Partial closing of positions is allowed intraday on Instant Funding or Flex challenge accounts as long as the total position is then closed within the same trading day. If a trader wishes to hold a position overnight, the entire position must remain open.” — page
