Calculated from the end-of-day balance. A breach is soft: positions are closed and trading stops for that day; the account is not failed. The new daily limit on 25K 1-Step evaluations applies only to new purchases; existing accounts retain their original rules.
Legacy:
Only EOD accounts have a Daily Loss Limit. If it is reached, trading is paused for the rest of the day without being treated as a rule breach. It stops applying when the maximum drawdown reaches the initial balance.

|---|---|
| $10K | $400 |
| $25K | $500 |
| $50K | $1,100 |
| $100K | $2,200 |
| $150K | $3,300 |

Microscalping is allowed, but no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held for less than 30 seconds.
Allowed when used responsibly within contract and drawdown limits. Aggressive exposure may be reviewed as gambling behaviour.
Allowed only between accounts personally owned and controlled by the same trader, including their accounts at other prop firms. Third-party signals, accounts and copy services are prohibited.
Allowed without restrictions during the 1-Step evaluation. On 1-Step Funded and Instant accounts, orders cannot be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news.
