Funded Trading Plus: Symbol Loss Limit (instant termination)
▶Funded Trading Plus Symbol Loss Limit: One Rule Kills Accounts — 50s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Loss on a single instrument may not exceed a program-specific % (≈2–3%) of the balance at 16:59 EST the prior day. Multiple positions on the same symbol count as one trade. Breaching the limit terminates the account immediately.
The gotcha
This is a separate hard breach from daily/max drawdown — concentrate too much loss in one symbol and the account is gone, even if your overall drawdown is fine.
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.
