Maximum Loss Limit: Static vs. Trailing
The Maximum Loss Limit depends on your account type:
- Static Limit: Applies to 1-Step, 2-Step, and Sprint accounts.
- Trailing Limit: Applies to Instant and AIFO One accounts and is based on the account’s highest historical equity.
Trailing Maximum Loss Limit
The Trailing Maximum Loss Limit is calculated based on the highest equity your account has reached during the evaluation or trading phase. It adjusts upward as your equity reaches new highs and does not decrease if your equity falls. Commissions and swap fees are included in the equity calculation.
If your account equity reaches or falls below the Trailing Maximum Loss Limit, your account will be considered breached.
Static Maximum Loss Limit
The Static Maximum Loss Limit is calculated based on your initial account balance and remains fixed throughout the trading phase. It does not increase or decrease as your account equity changes.
If your account equity reaches or falls below the Static Maximum Loss Limit, your account will be considered breached.
