The Maximum Total Loss is the maximum cumulative loss allowed during the challenge or funded account.

It includes both:

• Closed losses

• Floating losses from open positions

If your account reaches or exceeds this threshold at any moment, the account will be considered in breach immediately, even if it later recovers.

How It Is Calculated

The Maximum Total Loss is calculated as a fixed percentage of the initial account balance.

It does not reset and does not increase or decrease based on profits made.

The applicable limit depends on the account model:

One-Step

• Maximum Total Loss: 6%

Two-Steps

• Maximum Total Loss: 8%

Instant

• Maximum Total Loss: 6%

Example

Two-Steps Example

For a 100,000 USD Two-Steps account:

• Maximum Total Loss: 8%

• Maximum total loss allowed: 8,000 USD

If at any point the balance or equity drops below 92,000 USD, the rule is considered breached, even if the account later recovers above that level.

Key Points

• It is calculated at all times

• It includes both closed and floating losses

• It is always based on the initial account balance

• It does not reset during the life of the account

• The lowest value between balance and equity is what matters for rule evaluation

Final Recommendation

To avoid breaching this rule:

• Monitor both balance and equity regularly

• Control floating losses carefully

• Use disciplined risk management

• Avoid exposing the account to excessive drawdown
