Full Rule Explorer & Verification Audit
Detailed breakdown of every rule with official legal clauses, calculation mathematics, breach triggers, and source references.
Official Exact Clause / Text:
"Daily loss resets at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Calculated as: Daily Breach Floor = Starting Balance at 5 PM EST - (Initial Capital * Daily Loss %). Touching this floor during live trading incurs immediate account breach."
How It Is Calculated:
Daily floor is determined by starting balance at 5:00 PM EST rollover. Any floating drawdown during the next 24 hours that causes account equity to hit this floor triggers account liquidation.
Live Dollar Example ($100,000):
On a $100,000 account with a 4% daily limit, your maximum daily loss is $4,000. If day starts at $100,000, breach floor is $96,000. Pay Later Challenge and Instant PRO have 0% daily DD!
Consequence of Violation:Hard breach: All open positions closed immediately; account closed permanently with no refund.
Conflicting Documentation Notice:
1-Step accounts purchased before August 1, 2026 retain 4% daily loss; accounts purchased after August 1, 2026 are capped at 3% daily loss.
Recommendation: Check your account registration timestamp in the trader dashboard before calculating your daily buffer.

Strict CME Daily Close Rule (Zero Overnight Holding)

Safety Buffer & 20% Consistency Threshold
Traders must maintain a $2,500 safety buffer in the master account above initial capital before withdrawal requests are enabled. The best trading day cannot represent more than 20% of total profit.
