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$5,000 = 5% of the account. At 1% risk per trade that is 5 full losses in one day; at 0.5% risk, 10.
- Total loss room: US$10,000 = 10% of the account, static (the floor never moves). At 1% risk that is 10 losses in a row before the account ends.
- 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 |
|---|---|
| 5 trading days | 2.6% |
| 10 trading days | 7.3% |
| 30 trading days | 15% |
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.
