Daily Pause

Daily Pause is the amount by which an account size can decrease during the day (including commissions and fees). Its purpose is to limit the loss that a trader can incur during the trading day.

Please note: on some holidays trading results for two days will be counted as 1 trading day.

Using the daily pause, you can calculate the minimum account balance itself. That is the balance that you should not go below during the entire trading day. For each new trading day, this value is recalculated at the time of daily rollover using the formula below:

Account balance before market open - (minus) daily pause (in the table below) = minimum account balance for a new trading day.

Calculation example for a new $50,000 account: $50,000 (account balance before market open) - $2,000 (daily pause) = $48,000 (account balance, below which the account cannot fall during the trading day).

If the account balance falls below the minimum account balance, this will be a violation of this rule. All your current trades will be closed and the account temporarily locked until the next trading day. The Daily Pause rule is checked in real-time.

* When trading the Funded Session, the initial account balance equals $0, but the calculation formula does not change. Please note that the Daily Pause has the same value as the Max Trailing Drawdown. If the account balance reaches the Max Trailing Drawdown, it will cause the account to be closed.
