The daily loss limit
On the Momentum-EOD 50K the daily loss limit is $1,200 · trading pauses for the rest of the day. It counts open (unrealised) losses as well as closed trades.
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 Momentum-EOD 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 Momentum-EOD 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.
