The maximum loss limit is the amount below which your equity or balance cannot fall. The rule is set at 10% of the initial account size for the 2-stage challenge and 8% for the 1-stage challenge.
For example: if you have a $100 000 account and a maximum loss limit of 10%, your equity or balance cannot fall below $90 000 at any time.
For Instant accounts, the overall loss limit is 5% of the initial balance. For example, on a $10,000 Instant account, your balance or equity must not fall below $9,500 at any time.
