What is the Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit?

FPFX — Drawdown & Daily Loss Rules (Equity-Based System)

At FPFX, all drawdown and daily loss limits are equity-based, not balance-based.

This means that both closed and floating positions are included when calculating drawdown.

The system continuously monitors your real-time equity, ensuring transparent and fair enforcement of trading limits.

Maximum Daily Drawdown (Equity-Based)

The daily loss limit resets every day at 00:00 server time

(GMT+3 during summer and GMT+2 during winter) and is calculated from your initial balance.

Challenge Type Daily Drawdown Limit Basis Reset Time

One Step Challenge -4% of Initial Balance Equity-Based 00:00 (GMT+3 / GMT+2)

Two Step Challenge -5% of Initial Balance Equity-Based 00:00 (GMT+3 / GMT+2)

Three Step Challenge -5% of Initial Balance Equity-Based 00:00 (GMT+3 / GMT+2)

FPFX Pro Challenge -6% of Initial Balance Equity-Based 00:00 (GMT+3 / GMT+2)

How the Daily Loss Is Calculated

FPFX defines the daily loss based on your current equity, which includes:

Realized profit or loss (closed trades)

Unrealized profit or loss (floating trades)

Swaps and commissions

The system automatically checks equity at every tick to ensure compliance with your daily limit.

Example 1 — Loss Scenario:

If your starting balance is $100,000 and your daily drawdown limit is 5%, your allowable equity drop is $5,000.

If you lose $4,000 in closed trades and have an open trade with a floating loss of -$1,200, your total equity drawdown is $5,200 — meaning you’ve exceeded the daily limit.

Example 2 — Floating Losses:

If you experience an equity drop of 5% at any point during the day — even if the trade later closes in profit — it still counts as a breach, because the equity temporarily exceeded the allowed drawdown.
