Your account fails if total loss reaches 10% of the initial balance. On the 2-Step this is a STATIC floor measured from your starting balance. On the 1-Step it's an end-of-day TRAILING limit: it moves up as your balance grows and never moves back down, locking once it reaches your initial balance.
The gotcha
On the 1-Step, banking profit raises your stop-out level โ a drawdown that was safe on day one can breach you after a green day. On the 2-Step the floor is fixed, so floating losses you don't close won't trip it (but the daily limit still can).
