Daily loss limit

The daily loss limit is the limit below which equity (including open positions, commissions and swaps) must not fall at any time. If equity falls below the limit, the rule is considered breached.

The limit is recalculated every day at midnight Central European Time (CET) using the formula “account balance at midnight Central European Time (CET) of the previous day – 3.5%”.

On the first day, the account balance used to calculate the limit is the initial simulated capital.

The limit can rise and fall.

Max loss

The max loss limit is the boundary below which equity (including open positions, commissions and swaps) must not fall at any time. If equity falls below this limit, the rule is considered breached.

The maximum loss amount is 10% of the initial simulated capital.

Example for MFA Challenge 1 phase worth 50,000 USD:
on an account worth 50,000 USD you cannot exceed 5,000 USD in losses.
