Top One Crypto - Daily Drawdown Overview

How the daily drawdown is calculated on Top One Crypto accounts at 5 pm EST, with examples.

Written by Lars

All Top One Crypto accounts use a daily drawdown based on your previous day high balance or previous day high equity. The system determines this value at 5 pm EST each day.

Top One Crypto accounts can be purchased through www.toponecrypto.com.

Daily Drawdown: 3% or 4% on One Step accounts and 2% or 3% on Instant Funding accounts, measured from the higher of your balance or equity at 5 pm EST.

Explanation

Your daily loss limit is calculated by taking the higher value of your balance or equity at 5 pm EST and subtracting the allowed percentage. This creates a fixed loss limit for the next trading day.

The limit does not change during the trading day, even if your account balance or equity rises or falls after 5 pm EST. If your equity reaches the limit at any point, the account breaches the daily drawdown rule.

Daily Drawdown Calculation

At 5 pm EST the system checks two values: your account balance and your account equity. It takes the higher number and subtracts your daily drawdown percentage. This becomes your limit for the entire next day.

Example: One Step and One Step Funded (3% or 4%)

Scenario

Calculation

Daily Limit

Start: balance 10,000, daily drawdown 3%

10,000 multiplied by 3% is 300

9,700. If your equity touches 9,700 at any time, the account breaches the daily drawdown rule.

End of day at 5 pm EST: balance 10,400, equity 10,200

The system uses the higher number, 10,400. New limit: 10,400 minus 3%

10,088. This limit remains fixed until the next 5 pm EST reset.

Example: Instant Funding (2% or 3%)

Scenario

Calculation

Daily Limit

Start: balance 10,000, daily drawdown 2%

10,000 multiplied by 2% is 200

9,800

End of day high of 10,500 at 5 pm EST

10,500 minus 2%

10,290. This becomes your fixed limit for the next trading day.

Important Notes

  • The daily limit is always based on your highest value at 5 pm EST

  • The limit does not move during the trading day

  • A breach occurs if your equity touches the limit even for a moment
