The daily drawdown limit is the maximum amount you are allowed to lose in a single trading day. It’s recalculated daily based on your account balance at the start of the trading day. The clock resets every 24 hours at 00:00 GMT+3, giving you a fresh start each day.
But if your balance drops below the limit during the day, that’s game over—you will fail the challenge. Don’t panic, though. Once you understand how it works and how to manage it, the daily drawdown limit becomes more of an ally than an obstacle.
Daily drawdown limits for Falcon Funded challenges
Let’s get straight to the numbers. Here’s how the limits are applied to the Regular and Swing challenges:
How is the daily drawdown calculated?
Example: You are trading with a $200,000 account, and your daily drawdown limit is 4%. Your maximum loss is set at $8,000 for the day.
Rule violation: If your balance falls below $192,000 at any point during the trading day, you will fail the challenge.
Now, let’s say you finish the day with some profit. If your balance increases to $210,000 by the end of the day, your new daily drawdown limit will be $8,400 (4% of $210,000). Your next trading day’s drawdown is recalculated from this updated balance.
Why is the daily drawdown limit important?
The daily drawdown limit is there to protect your account and Falcon Funded’s capital while helping you develop disciplined trading habits.
Here’s why it matters:
