Account Violations (Hard Breach)
3 Step Models have static drawdown.
Hard breach are serious violations to our established rules. A hard breach happens when a trader exceeds the maximum daily loss or total drawdown limit, resulting in the immediate closure of the account. This applies during evaluation and funded.
Daily Drawdown Limit – 4%
What is it?
The maximum daily loss allowed is 4% of your initial account balance.
How is it calculated?
At 5 PM EST, we calculate the daily drawdown based on the higher value of either your account balance or equity. We subtract 4% of the initial account balance from this value to set the daily loss limit for the next trading day.
Examples:
$100K Account with $2,000 floating profit at 5 PM EST:
Account equity is $102,000.
Daily loss limit: $102,000 - $4,000 = $98,000.
$100K Account with $2,000 floating loss at 5 PM EST:
Account equity is $98,000, but the balance is $100,000 (higher value used).
Daily loss limit: $100,000 - $4,000 = $96,000.
Maximum Total Loss – 8%
What is it?
The maximum total loss allowed is 8% of your initial account balance. This includes all realized and unrealized losses.How is it calculated?
If your account equity, including any floating trades, falls below 92% of the initial balance, your account will breach.
Example:
For a $100,000 account:
Maximum total loss is 8% of $100,000 = $8,000.
Account equity, including unrealized losses, must not fall below $92,000.
Additional Details
All calculations include closed trade profits/losses, unrealized/floating positions, swap fees, and commissions.

- Forex 1:100
- Indices : 1:20

Max Leverage is applied to all phases of the Evaluation.
Consequently, we use lower leverage to protect us from unforeseen losses as a distributor of large capital on a funded account.
