Static Daily Drawdown – 2% Rule (Resets Daily at 00:00 UTC)
In the 1-Step Pro account, the Daily Drawdown is set as a fixed 2% of your account’s initial balance (or adjusted balance if a withdrawal or payout has occurred).
This rule helps enforce consistent risk control and resets daily at 00:00 UTC (the trading day rollover time).
How it Works:
At any time during a trading day, if your equity (including floating losses) drops below 98% of your starting/adjusted balance, it will result in a hard breach, and your account will be terminated immediately.
At 00:00 UTC each day, your Daily Drawdown is reset based on the same static 2% of your starting or adjusted balance.
Examples:
$50,000 Account:
2% Daily Drawdown = $1,000
Daily Stop-Out = $49,000
Resets daily at 5 PM EST
$100,000 Account:
2% Daily Drawdown = $2,000
Daily Stop-Out = $98,000
Key Notes:
The 2% limit is based only on initial or adjusted balance — not equity highs.
Drawdown calculation includes open trades, commissions, and swaps.
Reset Time: Daily at 00:00 UTC.
Breaching the limit results in immediate disqualification from the program.
