How can I calculate the daily loss limit?
Formula: Daily Loss Limit = Initial Balance × Daily Loss Limit % of your challenge. Swap, commission, and fees are included. If you exceed it, your account is breached and you cannot trade further.
Example 1: $100,000 ZP 2-Step, 5% daily limit → $100,000 × 0.05 = $5,000. Example 2: Same account, at noon you have $2,000 profit → daily loss limit for that day = $5,000 + $2,000 = $7,000. Losing more than $7,000 (closed or running) that day violates the rule.
Daily loss limit resets every day at 00:00 server time (GMT+2). The next day it is again Initial Balance × %. Current daily loss = Closed trade results for the day + results from open positions. After midnight, previous day profits do not count; the limit returns to % of initial balance.
