2 Step Plus Maximum Profit Per Day Rule
The Maximum Profit Per Day rule applies only to funded 2 Step Plus accounts and acts as a risk control measure. It is enforced as a soft breach, not a hard performance cap.
Daily Profit Limit
Account Stage | Max Profit Per Day |
Phase 1 | No limit |
Phase 2 | No limit |
Funded | 5% per trading day |
The daily profit limit is calculated from the starting balance of the funded account.
How the Daily Profit Limit Works
The limit is set at 5% of the funded starting balance
Profit is measured per trading day
The trading day resets at 5:00 PM EST
Closed profits are used to calculate daily profit
If the 5% daily profit limit is exceeded, a soft breach is triggered.
What Happens When the Limit Is Exceeded
When a funded account exceeds the daily profit limit:
The violating trade or trades will be automatically closed
Any profit above the allowed limit is considered invalid
One soft breach is recorded
Repeated violations count toward the soft breach limit of 4, after which the account is hard breached.
Example
A trader has a 50,000 dollar funded account.
5% daily profit limit equals 2,500 dollars
If the trader closes profits totaling 3,100 dollars in one trading day:
A soft breach is triggered
Trades may be closed automatically
The trader may continue trading
If this happens four times, the account is terminated.
Important Notes
There is no daily profit limit during challenge phases
The daily profit limit does not replace minimum trading day requirements
The daily profit limit does not override payout caps
The rule is enforced per trading day, not per trade
