How does the 1% Per Trade Open Loss Limit work on 1-Step MAX accounts?

The 1% Per Trade Open Loss Limit means that no individual trade setup may exceed 1% of the account balance in loss.
​

If a trade setup exceeds the 1% loss limit, your all open positions will be automatically closed and recorded as a Soft Breach during the Evaluation Stage and Hard Breach during Funded Stage.
​
For example, on a $100,000 account, the 1% limit is $1,000. This $1,000 limit remains fixed, even if the account balance subsequently grows or decreases. The total loss of an individual trade setup must remain within this limit.​

During the Evaluation Stage, a maximum of 2 Soft Breaches are allowed. A 3rd Soft Breach will result in a Hard Breach.
​

For Funded Accounts, there are no Soft Breaches. Exceeding the 1% Loss Per Trade Limit results in an immediate Hard Breach on the first occurrence.
​

Note: Traders should always leave a reasonable safety buffer below the 1% limit, as commissions and other charges like swap may be reflected differently depending on the platform.
