Maximum Floating Loss Limits

  • Instant Plus, 2-Step Plus: Maximum floating loss = 1% of account balance

Breach Consequences

  • Breach it once = 80% profit split drops to 50%
  • Breach it repeatedly = payout share reduces permanently to 40%, 30% and finally 20%
Limited

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.
