The Dynamic Daily Loss limit applies to Soft Daily Loss (SDL) and is recalculated at the end of each trading day based on the total P&L (profit & loss) of the day. The new limit is then applied for the next trading session.
The calculation follows this simple formula:
- New Daily Loss Limit = 25% of Total Profit
- Minimum Daily Loss = Base Daily Loss
The daily loss will always be at least equal to the initial base value and will never decrease below it, ensuring traders have a minimum safety net even after losses.
Example: 50K Account with Dynamic Daily Loss
- Initial Daily Loss Limit: $1,000
- The trader reaches a total profit level of $5,000 in their account.
- Updated Daily Loss Limit for the Next Day: Since the daily loss limit is dynamically adjusted to 25% of the total P&L, the new limit is calculated as:
- $1,000 (initial daily loss limit) → Adjusted to $1,250 (25% of $5,000 profit level)
- Result: The trader's daily loss limit for the next day is now $1,250 instead of the default $1,000, providing more room for risk management.
- If the trader incurs losses: The daily loss limit will adjust accordingly, but it will never drop below the original $1,000 default limit, ensuring a minimum level of protection.
