• Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic and Ignite Turbo; 10% on Phoenix Legacy; 7% on Surge. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
• Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
  Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
• Horizon and Odyssey: Dynamic Risk Shield™ follows the highest equity, only moves upward and stops at the initial balance, in evaluation and funded phases.
