Account Violations (Hard Breach)

All 1 Step Flex accounts use a 3% daily trailing drawdown and a 12% static maximum 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 – 3%

  • What does this mean?
    The maximum daily loss allowed is 3% of your previous days finishing balance/equity. This is calculated daily at 00:00 UTC, based on the higher value of either your account balance or account equity.

  • How is it calculated?
    At the 00:00 UTC day reset:

    • We check the higher of your account balance or equity.

    • We subtract 3% of the previous days ending balance/equity from this value to calculate your daily drawdown limit for the next day.

Examples:

  1. $100K Account with $2,000 floating profit at 00:00 UTC:

    • Account equity is $102,000.

    • Daily loss limit: $102,000 - $3,060 = $98,940.

  2. $100K Account with $2,000 floating loss at 00:00 UTC:

    • Account equity is $98,000, but the balance is $100,000 (higher value used).

    • Daily loss limit: $100,000 - $3,000 = $97,000.

  3. No open trades at 00:00 UTC:

    • Daily drawdown is calculated as 3% of the closed balance.

Max Drawdown Limit – 12%

What does this mean?
Your maximum drawdown is 12% of your initial account balance. Unlike a trailing drawdown, this drawdown is static, meaning it remains fixed throughout both the evaluation and funded stages regardless of how much profit you make.
​
​How is it calculated?
The maximum drawdown includes all closed trade profits/losses, floating positions, swap fees, and commissions.

Examples:

  1. $100K Account

    • Your maximum drawdown is $12,000.

    • Your account balance or equity must never fall below $88,000.

  2. $50K Account:

    • Your maximum drawdown is $6,000.

    • Your account balance or equity must never fall below $44,000.


Key Notes:

  • Daily drawdown resets daily at 00:00 UTC.

  • Maximum drawdown is static and does not trail as your account grows.

  • All calculations include closed trade profits/losses, floating positions, swap fees, and commissions.

Please note: The 12% static maximum drawdown applies to new One Step Flex purchases made on or after 31st August 2026. Accounts purchased before this date will remain on the previous 10% static maximum drawdown rule. The 3% daily trailing drawdown remains unchanged for all accounts.
