Account Violations (Hard Breach)
All 1 Step Models have trailing 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 initial account balance. 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 initial account balance from this value to calculate your daily drawdown limit for the next day.
Examples:
$100K Account with $2,000 floating profit at 00:00 UTC:
Account equity is $102,000.
Daily loss limit: $102,000 - $3,000 = $99,000.
$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.
No open trades at 00:00 UTC:
Daily drawdown is calculated as 3% of the closed balance.
Max Drawdown Limit – 6%
What does this mean?
Your maximum trailing drawdown is set at 6% of your highest recorded balance/equity during the evaluation.
How does it work?
Max trailing drawdown includes all closed trade profits/losses, swap fees, and commissions.
Examples:
$100K Account with $8,000 profit (balance = $108,000):
Your trailing drawdown locks at the starting balance of $100,000 after achieving 6% profit.
It will no longer trail further.
$100K Account with $5,000 profit (balance = $105,000):
Daily drawdown: $105,000 - $3,000 = $102,000.
Max trailing drawdown: $105,000 - $6,000 = $99,000.

Consistency Rule.
What is it?
The consistency rule ensures steady profits over time. It states that one trading day cannot account for 30% or more of your total profits during a payout period.
Example:
If you make $1,500 in one trading day, your total profits must reach at least $5,000 to be eligible to request a payout. You cannot request a payout until the highest profit day falls below 25% of the total profits for the period.
What Happens if I Violate the 30% Rule?
Will my account be terminated?
No, violating the 30% rule will not result in account termination. However, you will be unable to request a payout until your highest profit trading day is below 30% of your total profits.
What should I do next?
Continue trading and generating profits until your highest profit day falls below the 30% threshold. Once this happens, you can request a payout again.
