The daily loss limit
The Orbit 50K has no daily loss limit.
Practical reading: a soft limit ends the trading day but keeps the account alive; a hard limit fails the account. Either way the day's loss has to be measured from the start of the firm's trading day, which opens at 6 PM in the firm's time zone.
The trailing drawdown (maximum loss)
On the Orbit 50K, the maximum loss is $2,000: the account fails if the balance falls to $48,000 at the start, and that level rises with each higher end-of-day balance.
End-of-day trailing: the level only moves after the day closes, so open profit during the day does not raise it. On the Orbit 50K it starts at $48,000 and keeps trailing. Touching it during the day, open losses included, fails the account.
The consistency rule
None in the evaluation.

More questions traders ask
What is a prop firm evaluation?
A prop firm evaluation (also called a challenge or combine) is a simulated account with a profit target and loss limits. Reach the target without touching the maximum loss or breaking the firm's other rules and you qualify for a funded account. In PropPass's researched rule files the profit target runs from 2% to 20% of the account size (median 6%).
Does PropPass pass evaluations for you?
No one logs into your account. PropPass provides strategies and bots with a recorded live pass/fail record: you run one on your own NinjaTrader account, or follow its alerts and place the trades yourself, and PropPass watches your account's limits every session.
What is a trailing drawdown?
A trailing drawdown is a maximum-loss level that moves up behind the account balance. With an end-of-day trailing drawdown it rises only from closing balances; with an intraday trailing drawdown it rises with the highest balance reached during the day, open profit included; a static drawdown never moves. Of the 225 evaluation packages in PropPass's researched firm rules, 182 use end-of-day trailing, 25 intraday trailing and 14 static.
Which prop firm evaluations have no daily loss limit?
Among the firms with live passes on PropPass, these evaluation plans have no daily loss limit in the firms' published rules (each still has a maximum loss): Apex Trader Funding: Apex Intraday Trail, Apex Legacy Full (limited-time promotion); BluSky Trading: Launch, Orbit, Propel; FundedNext Futures: Flex, Legacy, Rapid Pro; Lucid Trading: LucidMaxx; My Funded Futures: Pro, Pro (One-Day Add-On), Rapid, Rapid EOD; Take Profit Trader: Test-PRO; Tradeify: Select Daily, Select Flex.
What is a prop firm consistency rule?
A consistency rule limits how much of the total profit can come from a single day — for example, the best day may be at most 50% of the profit. Some firms block the pass until the rule is met, others raise the profit target. Firms with live passes on PropPass that use one in at least one evaluation plan: BluSky Trading, FundedNext Futures, Lucid Trading, My Funded Futures, Take Profit Trader, Topstep, Tradeify.
How do you pass a prop firm challenge?
Know your package's numbers (profit target, maximum loss, daily loss limit, consistency, minimum days), keep each day's loss well inside the daily limit, respect the trailing drawdown, be flat before the firm's cut-off and follow its news rules. Across the PropPass directory, live passes took a median of 2 trading days. Read the full guide.
