Short answer: on the 1-Step Classic Breakout Evaluation plan, our summary of Breakout's public pages: profit target: $100,000 account: $10,000 upgrade target, $6,000 max drawdown; daily loss: Daily loss limit is 3% of balance at 00:30 UTC; max loss / drawdown: Static 6% max drawdown of initial balance. We read these on 2026-11-05 from the firm's public pages (links below). Rules change: check the firm's page before you trade.
Takeaway
For the example trader, the daily loss rule is the one most likely to end this 1-Step Classic Breakout Evaluation account, with a 76% chance that a loss rule breaks within 30 trading days against 24% for reaching the target first. Risking 0.5% per trade instead of 1% brings the 30-day chance down to 10%. Your own trades give different numbers: try them in the Prop Firm Rules Check.

What these rules mean in money
- Account size used: US$100,000 (the size the firm's page gives its numbers for).
- Daily loss room: US$3,000 = 3% of the account. At 1% risk per trade that is 3 full losses in one day; at 0.5% risk, 6.
- Total loss room: US$6,000 = 6% of the account, static (the floor never moves). At 1% risk that is 6 losses in a row before the account ends.
- Profit target US$10,000 vs total loss room US$6,000: you must make 1.67 times what you are allowed to lose.
- The daily limit is 50% of the total loss room, so two bad days at the daily limit use up the account.
| Within | Breaks a loss rule | Reaches the target first |
|---|---|---|
| 5 trading days | 58% | 13% |
| 10 trading days | 73% | 22% |
| 30 trading days | 76% | 24% |
How the table is made: the same made-up trader on every firm page takes 4 trades a day, wins 45% of them, wins 1.5 times what a loss costs, and risks 1% of the starting balance per trade. We replayed 20,000 random 30-day runs against this firm's stated loss limits and target (first event wins; only closed trades counted, so real accounts with open-trade swings break limits more often). Real traders differ, so read these as a way to compare rule sets, not as a rating of any firm.
