Understand the standard total and daily loss floors and how open exposure affects available allowance.

Total loss floor

The standard total loss floor is starting virtual balance minus 15% of starting balance. For a $1,000 starting balance, that floor is $850. This is measured from the starting balance, not a trailing high-water mark.

Daily loss floor

The daily floor is the balance at the start of the UTC day minus 10% of starting balance. For a $1,000 starting balance and a $1,050 UTC opening balance, the daily floor is $950. The UTC day starts at 00:00 UTC.

Open positions matter

Open positions reserve virtual amounts. They reduce available funds and the allowance for new positions, even before settlement. The ticket can therefore allow less than the standard maximum position size.

Use the remaining daily and total allowance in My challenge. A profitable settled balance alone does not mean the same amount is available for another position.
