This rule doesn't apply when buying the add-on at the check-out (+10%)

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits.

On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.

Maximum floating loss: 2% on Rapid, Ascend and Instant; $300K and $400K Instant accounts have a 1% limit. 1-Step Pro has a 1% limit, with a warning and split reduction to 40% on the first violation and closure on the second.
