How it is measured

Floating drawdown

XAU/USD Breach
Open P&L
−$2,000
Floating drawdown
2%
Limit
−$2,000
Room left
$0
$0 Breach Limit −$2,000
  • Open P&L, all XAU/USD trades
  • Limit, 2% of the initial balance
For example

On a $100K account with an initial balance of $100,000, you have 2 open positions on XAUUSD with a combined floating P&L of −$3,000. This equates to a floating drawdown of 3% on XAUUSD positions combined. That is over the limit on every account (2% on Challenge, 1.5% on Instant), so it would be a breach.

What happens

During Funded Status, if the account experiences more than 2% floating drawdown on any symbol, a Strike will be issued, and the next payout reduced to a 10% profit split.

Notional volume

Safe

500% /1,250%

750% available
  • XAU/USD 225%
  • GBP/JPY 150%
  • EUR/USD 125%
For example

On a $100K account your open trades can add up to $1,250,000. A new trade that takes the total to $1,300,000 is a breach, even if margin allows it.

What happens

During the challenge, exceeding the Notional Volume limit will result in a Strike, plus an account reset if in profit. If the account is not in profit, then no reset will occur until the account reaches the initial balance. During Funded Status, if you exceed the Notional Volume limit, a Strike will be issued and the next payout reduced to a 10% profit split.

Longer trades
88%
$7,040
For example

You made $3,500 this cycle and $1,050 of it (30%) came from trades held under 2 minutes. Make more on longer trades to get under 20%.

What happens

Request a payout while it is active and you get one strike, and that payout drops to 10%. In Stage One and Two it only shows in your progression report.

Good to know

Checked once you have 10 or more closed trades in the cycle.
