Daily Maximum Loss explanation and calculation for preset E8 Classic Account

What is daily drawdown and how it is calculated?

Updated over a month ago

Daily Drawdown is initially calculated by 4% of your initial balance or scaled balance (balance after payout) of your account.

It is then calculated of the balance of each new day during market rollover (00:00 Server time).

Example scenario: If a user’s balance at the start of the new day (00:00 Server time ) is $103,000, but their equity is $100,000, then the user’s daily stop-out level is $99,000 within the same day until the simulated equity resets with the user’s new registered balance at market rollover again


To better understand your limits, always follow your account loss analysis, which is located in the top right corner of your dashboard.

In the example above, the starting equity of the simulated account was US$105,048,41, so the Loss level was US$100,048.41.

Loss level represents the amount that you can not exceed.


Daily balance-based drawdown applies only to accounts purchased from 21.03.2025. Accounts activated before this date will continue with daily equity-based drawdown.
