2 Step Pro V2 Maximum Loss Limit

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.

This means the drawdown does not trail as the account grows.

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 traders 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.
