Quick answer
The current public 1-Step maximum loss limit is 20%. If the challenge record reaches the breach point defined in the final brief, the evaluation can fail.
Maximum-loss amount by plan
| Starting virtual balance | 20% maximum-loss amount | |---:|---:| | $2,000 | $400 | | $5,000 | $1,000 | | $10,000 | $2,000 |
How to use this rule
Treat the maximum loss as a hard boundary, not a target. Leave enough room for unsettled picks and normal variation. A strategy that repeatedly approaches the limit gives you very little space to recover.
Common questions
Q:Is the maximum loss fixed or trailing?
A: The public headline confirms 20% but does not publish the full operational method. Use your final challenge brief.
Q:Is maximum loss the same as daily loss?
A: No. Maximum loss covers the evaluation as defined in the brief. Any daily limit would be a separate rule.
Q:Can hitting the target erase an earlier breach?
A: No. Reaching the target does not override a rule violation.
