Drawdown is your risk guardrail. It keeps every account inside sensible, published limits, and because it is shown live on the dashboard, you are never guessing. The figures below are the confirmed limits for each product. Your dashboard always displays the exact number for your own account, and it is the live source of truth.

The daily drawdown line is the lowest your equity is allowed to fall during a single trading day. It is measured against your balance at the start of that day, and it resets at 00:00 UTC, so a fresh allowance opens each day.

Because it tracks equity rather than closed trades alone, an open position sitting in floating loss counts against it in real time. Watch the live equity figure and the remaining daily buffer side by side on the dashboard. When the buffer narrows, that is your signal to reduce size or close, well before the trade settles.

The maximum drawdown line is the floor your equity may not fall below for the life of the account. Depending on your product it is either static, a fixed level that does not move, or trailing, a level that follows your equity upward.

On the dashboard this appears as a second buffer beside your daily one. Like the daily line, it responds to floating losses on open trades, so it is live rather than end of day. Keep an eye on whichever buffer is smaller at any moment, because that is the one you would reach first.

The Instant family adds one more live guardrail: a cap on how much any single trade may lose. The dashboard flags this per position, so you can see it before a single trade uses too much of your room.

One Step and Two Step carry a 3% single-trade loss cap in the funded phase only. During the evaluation phase this indicator does not apply, so it does not appear on those accounts.

A static maximum drawdown is fixed at a level set from your starting balance and stays there however much profit you make. Two Step uses this, so its 8% floor never moves.

A trailing maximum drawdown follows your equity up as you make new highs, then locks at your starting balance once your account has grown enough to lift the floor to that level. One Step, Instant and Instant Pro use this locking trailing drawdown. Instant 24h is the exception: its trailing drawdown never locks, so the buffer keeps following your equity for the life of the account. Either way, watching the live line is the simplest way to stay comfortably clear of it.

On One Step, Instant and Instant Pro, the trailing maximum drawdown begins below your starting balance and follows your equity upward as you build profit. Once your account has grown by roughly the size of the trailing percentage, the floor has trailed all the way up to your starting balance and locks there permanently. After it locks it stops moving, and your initial capital is protected. Instant 24h is the exception: its trailing drawdown never locks and keeps following your equity for the life of the account.

As an illustration, a One Step account has a 6% trailing floor. The floor starts 6% below your starting balance and trails 6% below each new equity high in real time. Once your equity has climbed by about 6%, the floor has reached your starting balance and locks there for good.

If your equity reaches a daily or maximum drawdown limit, the account closes automatically and the dashboard updates to show it. Because the limits are evaluated live on open positions, this can happen on a floating loss before you close a trade, which is exactly why the live buffers are worth keeping in view.

Treat the buffers as firm lines, keep your size sensible, and close before a floating loss reaches one. Reaching a limit simply ends that account, it never creates a debt or a negative balance.
