How much is the profit split for Express Challenge?

With Elites Funding, you’ll get up to a 90% profit split.

You’ll get an 80% profit share initially. With scale-up, you’ll be eligible for a 90% profit share.

How do you calculate the Maximum Daily Loss?

This principle, often termed the “trader’s daily stop-loss,” constitutes a fundamental element of our trading framework. According to our guidelines, this stop-loss is established at 3% of the initial account balance.

It stipulates that at any given time during the day, the total outcome of all completed trades combined with the current unrealized profits or losses on open positions must not surpass the predetermined daily loss limit. This is calculated using the following formula:

Current daily loss = Total outcome of completed trades for the day + Outcome of open positions.

For instance, let’s consider an initial account balance of $100,000, with the maximum daily loss set at $3,000. If you incur losses of $2,400 from closed trades, your account should not decrease by more than $600 on that day. Additionally, the total of your open floating losses should not exceed -$600. It’s crucial to note that this limit incorporates commissions and swaps.

Conversely, if you earn $1,500 in profits in a single day, you can withstand losses of up to $4,500, but no more. Remember, your Maximum Daily Loss encompasses your open trades as well. For example, if you realize losses of $1,800 from closed trades in a day and subsequently open a new trade resulting in a floating loss of -$1,710 before eventually turning positive, you’ve already exceeded the daily loss limit, as your equity momentarily stood at -$3,510, exceeding the permitted loss of $3,000.

Be mindful that the Maximum Daily Loss resets at midnight. For instance, if you earn a profit of $1,200 in one day and simultaneously hold an open position with a floating loss of $3,900, you’re within the daily loss limit for that day, with a current daily loss of $2,700 ($1,200 profit from closed trades – $3,900 from open position). However, if you retain this position with an open loss of $3,900 after midnight, you’ll breach the daily loss limit, as profits from the previous day do not carry over, and the $3,900 open loss exceeds the $3,000 maximum daily permitted loss.

How do you calculate the Maximum Overall Loss?

This principle, commonly referred to as the “account stop-loss,” dictates that the equity of the trading account should always remain above 94% of the initial account balance throughout the account’s duration. For example, in the context of a Challenge with a starting balance of $100,000, this means that the lowest possible equity of the account can be $94,000. Once again, this encompasses both closed and open positions (account equity, not balance), and the calculation logic mirrors that of the Maximum Daily Loss, albeit spanning the entire testing period rather than just a single day. This threshold incorporates commissions and swaps.

Allocating 6% of the initial account balance provides traders with a sufficient buffer to demonstrate the suitability of their account for investment. It acts as a safety net, ensuring that traders can continue trading even if they experience initial losses. Crucially, this assurance extends to investors, who can rely on the fact that the trader’s account will never fall below 94% of its value under any circumstances.

What will happen If I break the 3% daily loss limit?

If a trader violates the daily drawdown rule, his account will be suspended.
