How it is measured

Floating drawdown

XAU/USD Breach

Open P&L: −$1,500
Floating drawdown: 1.5%
Limit: −$1,500
Room left: $0

$0 Breach Limit −$1,500

Open P&L, all XAU/USD trades
Limit, 1.5% 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

The first breach is a formal warning. After that, each breach is one strike and that payout drops to 10%.

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

One strike with no warning, and that payout drops to 10%.

Weekend holding

Safe

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon

For example

What happens

High Frequency Trading

Warning

12% / 20% max

Trades under 2 minutes: 12%; $960
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%.

Good to know

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

On your dashboard

Profit Concentration

Warning

45% / 60% max

XAU/USD Buy: 45%; $3,600
Everything else: 55%; $4,400

For example

You made $3,500 this cycle and $2,450 of it (70%) came from XAUUSD buys. Profit from other symbols, or from sells, brings it under 60%.

What happens

Request a payout while it is active and you get one strike, and that payout drops to 10%.

Good to know

Only closed trades count. Trading one symbol is fine, the rule looks at where the profit comes from.
