It operates alongside max drawdown as a second layer of risk control. A trader can be within the overall drawdown limit and still fail by hitting the daily loss cap. Understanding how the daily limit is calculated, and when it resets, is essential before purchasing a challenge.","faq":"<b>How is the daily loss limit different from max drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Max drawdown caps the total loss across the life of the account. The daily loss limit caps the loss in a single trading day. Both rules run in parallel, and a trader can stay within the overall drawdown while still failing by hitting the daily limit.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>When does the daily loss limit reset?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most firms reset the daily limit at a specific declared time, often based on New York or the trading server's local time zone. The reset time matters because a trader close to the daily limit at the end of the day can potentially continue trading after the reset. The specific reset time should be confirmed with the firm before purchasing.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>What happens if I hit the daily loss limit?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to trade an account is restricted. During the challenge, hitting the daily limit typically fails the evaluation. On a funded account, it may end the funded relationship or trigger a reset depending on the firm's policy.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
