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.
Trailing Drawdown Types
✔ 1-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation – 6% 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 resets after payouts.
✔ 2-Step Crypto Edge Evaluation – 10% Trailing to Initial Balance
Drawdown follows the highest equity on the account only up to the initial balance.
Once it reaches your account starting balance, it locks in and does not trail further.
Offers more room for account growth during the evaluation without increasing risk.
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 trailing drawdown begins again.
⚠️ 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.
