Understanding Max Daily and Total Drawdown
Daily Drawdown
Daily Loss | 5%
In the course of one working day, the maximum daily drawdown on the account (which consists of the simulated account’s current result of opened positions and the result of positions closed on the given day) must not exceed 5% of the account's initial balance. Please note this includes simulated commissions and swap fees.
Note: This is considered a soft-breach, meaning you will still be allowed to trade but will need to remain cautious. Additionally, we utilize a reconciliation module that reviews breaches the following day to provide an extra layer of verification.
Maximum Drawdown
Maximum Total Drawdown | 10%
The maximum total drawdown is 10%. Therefore, the equity of the account must not fall below 90% of the initial demo account balance both for open and closed positions, including simulated commissions and simulated swaps.
Drawdown Rules by Account Size
The following chart shows the maximum daily drawdown loss and overall maximum loss by account size for all Royal accounts.
Account Size | Maximum Daily Loss | Maximum Total Drawdown |
50,000 | 2,500 | Equity/Balance must not drop below 45K |
100,000 | 5,000 | Equity/Balance must not drop below 90K |
200,000 | 10,000 | Equity/Balance must not drop below 180K |
Note: We also utilize a reconciliation module that reviews breaches the following day to add an additional layer of verification for any breach activity.
Reset Time
The daily drawdown resets every day between 4:57 pm EST- 5:03pm EST. To ensure smooth functionality, we advise our TFT traders to not execute trades in between the window of 4:57 PM - 5:03 PM EST when the drawdown is being reset. Once your last balance/equity (whichever is higher) is pulled for the trading day your dashboard will update with your new daily breach level. This is the amount your account virtual equity must stay above in order to not be breached.
Violations
Any violation of the rules above will result in the termination of your trading account and you will not be eligible to move forward in the program with that account.
Holding Trades & Simulated Weekend Crypto Trading
Challenge Type | Hold Trades Overnight | Hold Trades Over Weekend | Weekend Crypto Trading |

Payouts and Bonus Processing
Upon successfully completing the Royal Pro Challenge, traders are eligible to request 75% payout at any time, contingent upon meeting the Steadfast Gains rule. To maintain eligibility for payouts, it is crucial that no single day's profit exceeds 50% of the current net profit.
Please note, upon achieving VIP status, this payout percentage can increase to 95%.
Additionally, the minimum withdrawal request is 1% of the account size, and the maximum withdrawal for the first three payouts is capped at 5%, with no cap applied thereafter.
Steadfast Gains Rule: Funded Phase Only
The Steadfast Gains Rule applies exclusively to the funded phase and is calculated on an equity-to-equity basis at all times. This means the rule monitors your equity in real-time, ensuring that your largest winning day does not exceed 50% of your total net profits, based on the highest equity point achieved.
Withdrawal Days: If a trader makes a profit on the day they withdraw funds, that day’s profit will automatically become their new largest trading day for the next cycle. However, if a larger profit day occurs in subsequent trading day, it will replace the withdrawal day as the largest profit day. This ensures gains from withdrawal days are properly accounted for while upholding consistency in trading performance.
Equity-Based Monitoring: The system continuously tracks your equity to ensure accurate application of the rule, accounting for real-time fluctuations and performance.
Understanding the Rule: To provide clarity and address edge cases, such as withdrawal days, we’ve created detailed examples for different account sizes. These examples illustrate how the rule is applied in various scenarios, ensuring you have a clear understanding of how it works throughout your funded trading journey.
This version emphasizes that the rule is specific to the funded phase and excludes the challenge phase, while also clarifying key details.

NOTE: All Phase 1, 2, 3 and as well as TFT Funded Accounts are routed through a simulated feed, therefore simulating real market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
General Rules and Features
Q: Does the funded stage have a withdrawal cap percentage on Royal Pro with the new discount?
A: The Royal Pro Challenge imposes a 5% withdrawal cap on the first three withdrawals. Starting from the fourth withdrawal, there is no cap. For example:
• On a $100,000 account, if you earn $10,000 before your first payout, you can only withdraw $5,000. The remaining balance stays in the account.
• On the second withdrawal, if you earn an additional $5,000, making a total of $10,000, you can again withdraw $5,000.
• On the third withdrawal, you can withdraw the remaining $5,000.
• From the fourth withdrawal onward, any profit earned can be withdrawn with no cap.
Q: What are the rules for the funded stage on Royal Pro?
A:
• Daily Loss %: 5% (Soft Breach)
• Daily Drawdown Type: Equity and Balance
• Max Loss %: 10% (Fixed)
• Consistency Rule (Steadfast Gains): Largest winning day must not exceed 50% of total profits (Funded stage only).
• Daily Profit Cap: 2% (Funded stage)
• Refund Eligible: Yes
• Withdrawal Frequency: Every 3 days (Must meet consistency conditions; minimum withdrawal: 1% of account size).
• Withdrawal Cap: 5% for the first three payouts; no caps afterward.
• Profit Split: 75% (scalable up to 95% with VIP).
Q: Does the Royal Pro Challenge have the steadfast gains rule?
A: Yes, the steadfast gains rule (Consistency Rule) applies. This rule requires that your largest winning day does not exceed 50% of your total profits to qualify for withdrawals. It does not result in a violation but will prevent withdrawals until the condition is met. Withdrawals are available every three days.
Q: What difference does it make when it also has the steadfast gains rule like Knight Pro?
A: Similar to the Knight Pro Challenge, the Royal Pro allows payouts every three days. However, you must meet the steadfast gains rule, which ensures no single day’s profit exceeds 50% of the total profit. This encourages consistent performance while enabling quick access to funds.
Q: Sir, which accounts have the steadfast gains rule?
A: The steadfast gains rule applies to the Knight Pro and Royal Pro challenges only.
Q: Is the Royal Pro Challenge suitable for swing traders?
A: Yes, the Royal Pro Challenge has a static max drawdown, ideal for swing traders. However, note that the daily drawdown is calculated based on the higher of balance or equity, making it more sensitive for positions held overnight or during market swings. The daily drawdown is a soft breach, so swing traders can adjust without account violations.
Q: On the Royal Pro, is the daily drawdown balance-based or equity-based?
A: The daily drawdown is based on the higher of balance or equity. If breached, the account will be disabled for the day and re-enabled the next day. This is considered a soft breach.
Q: Do you have a challenge where the max drawdown is fixed and daily drawdown resets daily to the equity amount? Is this the Royal Pro Challenge?
A: Yes, the Royal Pro Challenge, along with the Dragon, Rapid, and standard Royal Challenges, has a fixed max drawdown.
Profit and Drawdown Caps
Q: Can someone explain how the daily profit cap works for Royal Pro in a simple way?
A: The daily profit cap limits the maximum profit you can earn in a day. If the cap is reached, all trades are closed, and the account is paused until the next day. For example, on a $100,000 account with a 3% daily profit cap:
• If you earn $3,000 in a day, the account will be paused, and you can resume trading the next day.
• If trades exceed the cap due to market movement, those profits are retained but no further trading is allowed that day.
Q: How much daily profit is limited for the $25,000 Royal Pro account?
A: The daily profit caps for a $25,000 Royal Pro account are:
• Phase 1: 3% = $750
• Phase 2: 1.5% = $375
• Funded stage: 2% = $500
Q: Could you clarify Royal Pro’s daily profit cap? For instance, if I am in a trade that runs to 5% when the cap is 3%, what happens to the trade and the excess profit?
A: Once the cap is reached (e.g., 3%), all trades are automatically closed, and the account is paused until the next day. Any additional profits from these trades are retained.
Q: If I have a 100K Royal Pro funded account and place a trade that exceeds the daily profit cap, is it a breach?
A: No, exceeding the daily profit cap is not a breach. The account will be paused, and all trades will be closed once the cap is reached. The account will reactivate the next day.
Q: Is the profit cap rule only for the funded stage or also for the challenge phase?
A: The profit cap applies as follows:
• Phase 1: 3%
• Phase 2: 1.5%
• Funded stage: 2%
Q: Can the max profit cap on Royal Pro be changed or increased?
A: Currently, the profit cap cannot be increased. However, you can unlock higher caps by qualifying for the VIP program, which offers additional benefits for Royal Pro accounts.
