The Maximum Loss Limit, also known as the Max Drawdown, defines the maximum total loss allowed on the account. For 2-Step Pro V2 accounts, the Maximum Loss Limit is static: the drawdown does not trail as the account grows.
Maximum Loss Limit: 9% of the starting balance, static. The breach level never moves up, even when the account is in profit.
Maximum Loss Limit Overview
Account Size | Maximum Loss Limit | Breach Level |
$5,000 | 9% | $4,550 |
$10,000 | 9% | $9,100 |
$25,000 | 9% | $22,750 |
$50,000 | 9% | $45,500 |
$100,000 | 9% | $91,000 |
$150,000 | 9% | $136,500 |
$300,000 | 9% | $273,000 |
What Static Drawdown Means
A static drawdown stays fixed from the start of the account. It does not move up when the account makes profit. For example, on a $100,000 account:
Item | Amount |
Starting Balance | $100,000 |
Maximum Loss Limit | 9% |
Maximum Allowed Loss | $9,000 |
Breach Level | $91,000 |
Even if the account grows to $105,000, the breach level remains $91,000. This gives you more room as profits are built, since the drawdown level does not trail upward.
How the Rule Works
The Maximum Loss Limit applies throughout the account. If the account balance or equity reaches or falls below the breach level, the account violates the Maximum Loss Limit. This includes:
Closed losses
Floating losses
Commissions
Swap or trading fees where applicable
Example
A trader has a $50,000 2-Step Pro V2 account.
Item | Amount |
Starting Balance | $50,000 |
Maximum Loss Limit | 9% |
Maximum Allowed Loss | $4,500 |
Breach Level | $45,500 |
If the account balance or equity reaches $45,500, the account is breached. If the account grows to $53,000, the breach level still remains $45,500.
Static Drawdown vs Trailing Drawdown
Drawdown Type | How It Works |
Static Drawdown | Breach level stays fixed |
Trailing Drawdown | Breach level moves upward as the account grows |
The 2-Step Pro V2 uses static drawdown, not trailing drawdown.
