The 1-Step Challenge has NO daily loss cap — you can lose more than 5% intraday as long as your closed balance stays above the trailing line. The 2-Step Challenge has a 5% daily limit (balance-based). Instant accounts have no documented daily cap.
The gotcha
Only the 2-Step carries a daily limit — the headline 'no daily drawdown' is true for the 1-Step but not the 2-Step.
| oneStep | NONE |
