Maximum Loss Explained: 1-Step pro Account

Updated over 2 weeks ago

1-Step Pro – Maximum Loss Rule (Static 6%)

The Maximum Loss Rule in the 1-Step Pro account is designed to enforce disciplined risk management and capital preservation. This account features a static 6% drawdown, meaning the maximum loss is locked from the start and does not adjust with profits.


What does this mean?

Your account must never fall below 94% of the initial balance. If your equity, including all open trades, swaps, and commissions, drops below this level, it triggers a hard breach, and the account is immediately closed.


How is it calculated?

  • Maximum Loss: 6% of the initial balance

  • Stop-Out Level:
    ​Initial Balance - 6%

This stop-out level remains fixed throughout the evaluation and funded phase.


Examples:

  • $50K Account:

    • Max Loss: 6% of $50,000 = $3,000

    • Stop-Out Level: $47,000

  • $100K Account:

    • Max Loss: 6% of $100,000 = $6,000

    • Stop-Out Level: $94,000

  • $25K Account:

    • Max Loss: 6% of $25,000 = $1,500

    • Stop-Out Level: $23,500


Key Notes:

  • The stop-out level includes closed PnL, floating PnL, commissions, and swap fees.

  • This fixed rule simplifies risk tracking and supports strategic, consistent trading.
