Daily Loss Calculation
The Daily Loss Limit is determined by the account’s initial balance and the percentage specified in the plan:
Daily Loss Limit = Initial Account Balance × Maximum Daily Loss Percentage
The system calculates the following in real time:
Today’s Realized Net P&L + Current Unrealized P&L from All Open Positions − Profit Buffer Removed by Today’s Payout
The Maximum Daily Loss is triggered when the Daily Loss Limit is reached or exceeded.
Overnight Positions
After 00:00 (UTC+8) each day:
- The Realized Net P&L from the previous calculation period is no longer included in the current day’s Daily Loss calculation.
- The Profit Buffer removed by Payouts during the previous calculation period is cleared.
- The Unrealized P&L of currently open positions continues to be included in the current day’s Daily Loss calculation.
Therefore:
Overnight unrealized profit continues to provide a Daily Loss buffer and increases the current available loss buffer; overnight unrealized loss continues to use up the Daily Loss buffer.
For a 10,000 USDT account with a 5% Maximum Daily Loss:
The base Daily Loss Limit is:
500 USDT
If the overnight unrealized profit is +300 USDT:
Current Available Loss Buffer = 800 USDT
If the overnight unrealized loss is −200 USDT:
Current Available Loss Buffer = 300 USDT
If the overnight unrealized loss reaches −500 USDT:
Current Available Loss Buffer = 0 USDT, triggering the Maximum Daily Loss.
Payout
When a 2-Step funded account requests a Payout, if the requested amount includes profits generated during the current trading day, the corresponding amount is removed from the day’s profit buffer.
A Payout itself is not directly counted as a trading loss in the Daily Loss calculation.
