What is the Daily Drawdown and how is it calculated?

1 min. readlast update: 08.26.2025

The Daily Drawdown (also called Maximum Daily Loss) is a key risk rule every OFP trader must follow. It limits how much your equity can drop within a single day, based on the account size and loss option you selected at checkout.

🔎 The Rule

  • Your equity must not exceed or match your maximum balance of the day minus the allowed Daily Loss.

  • Each day starts from midnight (CET) and resets daily.

  • The Maximum Daily Loss % (2%, 3%, 4%, or 5%) is chosen when you purchase your account.

  • Breaching this rule will result in the immediate closure of your account.

$10,000 $500 $400 $300 $200
$25,000 $1,250 $1,000 $750 $500
$50,000 $2,500 $2,000 $1,500 $1,000
$100,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000
$200,000 $10,000 $8,000 $6,000 $4,000
$300,000 $15,000 $12,000 $9,000 $6,000

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Equity (balance + floating P/L) is what matters, not just balance.

  • The loss limit applies even if you later recover profits during the day.
