How to calculate the 3% daily loss limit in 1 Step Express?

Failuer of evaluation occurs when an account's floating equity hits the daily loss limit. This limit represents the maximum allowable loss for the account within a single trading day and is recalculated daily based on the previous day’s closing balance. The reset takes place between 00:00 and 01:00 GMT+2 (Standard Time) or GMT+3 (Daylight Saving Time). As your account balance grows, so does your daily loss limit.

Examples:

If your previous day’s balance was $100,000, breaching the daily loss limit would occur if equity falls to $97,000.
With a floating profit of +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, the daily loss limit for the next day remains based on the prior balance of $100,000 (limit: $97,000).
If you close the day with a $5,000 profit, resulting in a new balance of $105,000, the next day’s loss limit will be adjusted accordingly—e.g., $101,850.

Please note: between 00:00–01:00 system time, daily loss limits are updated sequentially. Trades placed during this settlement period may still be subject to the previous day’s limit. To avoid unintended impacts, we recommend refraining from trading at this time.
