Floating Loss (1.5%)

Updated 30 October 2026

The Floating Loss limit applies to accounts opened from 20 August 2026. It replaces the old 2% single-trade loss rule.


What is the Rule?

Add up the loss on all your open trades, plus the commission charged on them. That total can be at most 1.5% of your account starting balance at any one moment. The commission on open trades counts.

AccountFloating loss limit
$500$7.50
$1,250$18.75
$5,000$75
$10,000$150
$100,000$1,500

There is no limit on profit. A winning trade can make any amount.


When Do We Check It?

Live — every moment your trades are open, the same way your daily drawdown is checked. The instant your combined open loss reaches the limit, the account ends.

So close a losing trade early instead of holding and hoping. One bad hold cannot quietly grow into a dead account.

You can watch it in the trading terminal: the Floating Loss meter sits next to your Daily DD and Overall DD meters and shows exactly how much room is left.


Cobra Prime and Cobra Strike

These accounts get one second chance:

  • Cobra Prime: 1.5%. Cobra Strike: 1% (or what you chose with an add-on).
  • The first time your open loss reaches the limit, all your open trades close. The account stays open, but your profit split drops for good: to 40% on Prime, 30% on Strike.
  • The second time, the account ends.

Opened Your Account Earlier?

Accounts opened before 20 August 2026 keep the exact rulebook they started with, including the old 2% single-trade rule. Nothing here changes for them.
