Drawdown Explanation
Daily Drawdown (3%) — Hard Breach
Based on the higher of the day’s starting balance or equity.
Breaching the 3% limit at any time during the day results in immediate and permanent failure of the account — no warnings.
Daily drawdown resets between 4:57 PM – 5:03 PM EST.
Max Total Drawdown (6%)
In Challenge Phase: Static — calculated from the initial balance. If breached, the account is permanently closed.
In Funded Phase: Relative — moving with the high watermark. Breaching the 6% limit triggers immediate account closure.
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.
