How the Static Accounts daily loss is calculated

On Static Accounts, the daily loss limit is recalculated each day based on the higher of the account balance or equity at the end of the trading day.

What this means in practice

  • If you end the day in profit, your next day daily loss allowance is calculated from the higher end of day value.

  • If you end the day with floating profit, that equity can become the reference.

  • If you end the day with floating loss, the balance might be the higher value, so the reference will be balance.


When the Static Accounts daily loss resets

The daily reset occurs at 00:00 EET or EEST.

At reset

The daily loss reference updates to the new day’s daily loss limit based on the prior day end of day measurement.


The maximum loss rule does not reset, because it is calculated from the initial balance.


How the Static Accounts maximum loss is calculated

On Static Accounts, the maximum loss is a fixed percentage of the initial account balance.

This means

It does not increase as you profit.
It does not reset after payouts.
It remains anchored to the starting balance for that account type’s rules.

If your equity or balance drops beyond the maximum loss threshold at any moment, the account breaches.
