Breakout: Daily loss limit
▶Breakout Daily Loss Rule: Swap Fee Trap Drains Your Limit First — 46s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
3% on 1-Step, 4% on 2-Step, recalculated each day from the balance at the 00:30 UTC reset. Daily loss and max drawdown are enforced simultaneously — hitting either is a breach.
The gotcha
Notional swap fees (0.033%/day per position, deducted at 00:25 UTC) and commissions hit the demo balance and can push you toward the line.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
