Does Savius Have a Daily Loss Limit?
The Simple Answer
Yes. Savius calls it the Daily Max DD and it is a hard breach, meaning hitting it terminates the account rather than just stopping you for the day. It is calculated from your daily starting balance and resets each day at 16:15 US Central Time.
Below is a breakdown of how the Savius daily loss limit applies across every account type the firm offers.
Daily Loss Limit by Account Type
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant Funded Evolution accounts
Every Instant Funded Evolution size carries a Daily Max DD, and it is the same figure in the first cycle and in every cycle after it: $400 on the 25K, $800 on the 50K, $1,300 on the 100K, $2,000 on the 150K and $4,000 on the 300K. It is calculated from your daily starting balance, not from your peak. On a $50,000 account starting the day at $50,000, dropping to $49,200 or below at any point during the day terminates the account. Everything resets at 16:15 Central Time on your new starting balance.
Savius Evaluation, Fixed EOD variant
If you choose Fixed EOD at purchase, your daily limit is what Savius calls the Available Daily Margin: $800 on the 50K and $1,600 on the 100K. It resets at the end-of-day close, with a static floor underneath as the hard bottom. The funded phase of the Savius Evaluation uses the EOD Fixed model regardless of which variant you picked for the Timed Evaluation.
Savius Evaluation, Trailing EOD variant
The Trailing EOD variant works the other way. There is no separate daily figure. Instead you get a larger trailing drawdown, $1,500 on the 50K and $2,500 on the 100K, that follows your highest end-of-day balance and never falls back. You are choosing between a tighter daily leash with a fixed floor, or more daily room with a floor that ratchets up behind you. The choice is made once, at purchase.
Why Savius makes it a hard breach
Savius is unusually open about the reasoning. It states that it wants you to set your own manual daily loss limit inside your platform, because on a real funded account no broker will set one for you, and that the rule exists to filter out traders who gamble their way to funding and then liquidate real capital within days. It also says that if you can show you set a reasonable manual daily loss every session, journal consistently, and the breach came from an exceptional event rather than carelessness, a second chance may be considered case by case through a support ticket.
Final Comments
Savius advises setting your manual daily loss limit in the platform slightly below the account threshold, accounting for likely slippage at your usual contract size and instrument, since the breach is measured on the account and not on your intended stop.
A daily loss limit is the rule most traders breach first, usually on a day they were already losing. Know your number before the session starts, and check it against your own platform rather than assuming the firm will stop you in time.
