Help CenterAs you advance through the evaluation stages, to assist you with your risk management, we’ve set your maximum exposure in a single instrument to 1% in verification and funded accounts. If you exceed 1% drawdown in any one instrument, it will result in a soft breach. You can have up to 3 soft breaches, but if you exceed 1% maximum drawdown in any one instrument in a Funded account, it will result in a hard breach and your account will be disabled.
Correct Practice (Stage 2 - Verification Stage)
You open these trades on a 2-Step Stage 2 $100,000 Account:
-
EUR/USD: Risking $600
-
GBP/USD: Risking $700
-
Gold (XAU/USD): Risking $900
Even if your total risk is $2,200, each individual instrument’s exposure is below $1,000 — so you’re compliant.
Soft Breach (Stage 2 - Verification Stage)
You open trades on a 2-Step Stage 2 $100,000 Account:
-
EUR/USD: Risking $1,200 (1.2% of account)
-
GBP/USD: Risking $300
Here, EUR/USD exceeds the 1% limit, causing a Soft Breach #1.
You're allowed up to 3 soft breaches in the Verification Stage. Exceeding the allotted soft breaches is a Hard Breach, and your account will be disabled immediately and forfeited.
Hard Breach (Funded Stage)
You open trades on a 2-Step Funded $100,000 Account:
-
Gold (XAU/USD): Risking $1,500 (1.5% of account)
This single trade in Gold exceeds the 1% max exposure limit. Because you're on a Funded Account, this is a Hard Breach, and your account will be disabled immediately and forfeited.
