Single Trade Loss Limit (Instant Accounts)

On Instant accounts, no single trade is allowed to lose more than 1% of the Initial Account Balance.

If any one trade's loss exceeds this limit, the account is immediately failed.

📐 Formula

Max Loss Per Trade = 1% × Initial Account Balance

If a single trade's loss (realized or floating) exceeds this amount at any point, the rule is breached.

📊 Examples

Example 1 — Within Limit

• Initial Account Balance: $10,000
• Max Loss Per Trade = 1% × $10,000 = $100
• A single trade closes with a loss of $80 → Within limit, no breach

Example 2 — Breach Case

• Initial Account Balance: $10,000
• Max Loss Per Trade = $100
• A single trade's floating loss reaches $135 before being closed → Breach, account failed immediately, even if the trade is later closed at a smaller loss or in profit

Example 3 — Smaller Account

• Initial Account Balance: $5,000
• Max Loss Per Trade = 1% × $5,000 = $50
• A single trade loses $60 → Breach, account failed

🔑 Key Points

• Applies only to Instant accounts
• Limit is 1% of Initial Account Balance per individual trade
• Applies to both realized and floating (unrealized) loss on that trade
• Breaching this on even a single trade results in immediate account failure, regardless of overall account performance
