Key Definitions & Clarifications
Demo Account Balance vs. Equity
Balance: The account value excluding open positions.
Equity: The account value including open positions.
Maximum Daily Loss Formula
✔ 1-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation
Max Daily Loss Threshold = Higher of Balance or Equity at 00:00 UTC x 0.96
✔ 2-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation
Max Daily Loss Threshold = Higher of Balance or Equity at 00:00 UTC x 0.95
If your equity falls below this level at any time in the 24-hour window, the account will be breached.
Drawdown Types
✔ 1-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation – 6% Static Drawdown
Drawdown is calculated based on the initial account balance.
It does not move.
✔ 2-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation – 10% Trailing Drawdown
Drawdown follows the highest equity on the account.
It moves up when new highs are made.
It does not decrease after losses.
It gets reduced after payouts; the highest equity on the account is reduced by the payout amount requested.
Final Notes
✅ Both Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Drawdown are enforced simultaneously.
🔄 After a payout, your funded account resets to the initial balance, and the highest equity on the account used to calculate the trailing drawdown is reduced by the payout amount requested.
⚠️ Slippage, commissions, swaps, and fees all count toward your risk limits.
❌ If your equity breaches either loss rule, the account will be disabled.
📘 Be sure to understand these rules before trading to avoid preventable breaches.
