For Evaluation, Express, and Stellar 2-Step:

Traders are allowed to lose 5% of their initial account balance on any given day as their Daily Drawdown. If your initial account balance is $100,000, then 5% of the amount is $5000. This means that your Daily Loss Limit will remain unchanged whether you make a profit or incur a loss. At any point in a day, if the (running + closed) loss exceeds $5000 it will be considered a Daily Drawdown rule violation.

For Stellar 1-Step:

Traders are allowed to lose 3% of their initial account balance on any given day as their Daily Drawdown in the Stellar 1-Step account. If your initial account balance is $100,000, then 3% of the amount is $3000. This means that your Daily Loss Limit will remain unchanged whether you make a profit or incur a loss. At any point in a day, if the (running + closed) loss exceeds $3000, it will be considered a Daily Drawdown rule violation.

For Stellar Lite:

In the Stellar Lite account, traders are permitted to lose a Daily Drawdown of 4% from their initial account balance. For instance, with an initial balance of $100,000, this equates to $4000. This means that your Daily Loss Limit will remain unchanged whether you make a profit or incur a loss. If the total loss (running + closed) exceed this limit at any point during a day, it will be considered as a violation of the Daily Drawdown rule
