How the drawdown works
All PACE, FLASH and LITE accounts use an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown:
It updates at the end of each session, based on your highest closing balance. It never moves intraday and never moves down.
Once your profit reaches the drawdown amount + $100, it locks at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing.
Closing at or below the drawdown breaches the account.
The drawdown stays the same when you get funded.
Example ($50K PACE): drawdown is $2,000. Once you close at $52,100 or higher, the limit locks at $50,100.
Max drawdown
Account Size | PACE | FLASH | LITE |
$25K | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
$50K | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
$100K | $3,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 |
$150K | $4,500 | $4,500 | $4,000 |
Daily loss limit
Account | $25K | $50K | $100K | $150K | Applies |
PACE | $600 | $1,200 | $1,700 | $3,000 | Evaluation + funded, if kept at checkout |
FLASH | $600 | $1,200 | $1,800 | $2,700 | Evaluation + funded, if kept at checkout |
LITE | $500 | $1,000 | $1,250 | $1,750 | Funded only |
Hitting the daily loss limit is a soft breach. Trading stops for the rest of the session and the account stays open. Only the max drawdown ends an account.
PACE and FLASH: you choose at checkout whether to keep the limit. Your choice applies to both stages and can’t be changed later.
FLASH funded: once your balance closes above starting balance + drawdown + $100, the limit becomes 60% of your highest end-of-day profit. It only goes up. Example: a best close of $4,000 profit gives a $2,400 limit.
