Does Phoenix Trader Funding Have a Daily Loss Limit?
The Simple Answer
No. Phoenix Trader Funding does not use a daily drawdown on any account. Every account family, Classic, Spark, Merit and Daily, lists Daily drawdown: None in its own rules table. The maximum drawdown is the only loss rule, and it is end-of-day trailing.
Below is a breakdown of how the Phoenix Trader Funding daily loss limit applies across every account type the firm offers.
Daily Loss Limit by Account Type
Breakdown by Account Type
Classic accounts
Classic runs three sizes: Starter at $25K with a $1,500 profit target and $1,500 max drawdown, Growth at $50K with a $3,000 target and $2,000 drawdown, and Scale at $100K with a $6,000 target and $3,000 drawdown. Daily drawdown is listed as None on all three. Validation needs four things: reach the target, never touch the max drawdown, keep your best day under 50 percent of profits, and trade at least 2 days.
Spark accounts
Spark is the cheapest lineup and the most permissive on rules. Seed at $10K carries a $600 target against a $400 drawdown, and Starter at $25K a $1,500 target against $1,000. Daily drawdown is None on both. Spark also drops the consistency rule during the challenge entirely, so your best day can be any portion of your total profits, and it needs only 1 minimum trading day.
Daily accounts
Daily accounts are TFeed only, traded on no other platform, and they pay out every trading day rather than on a schedule. Seed at $10K has a $600 target against a $600 drawdown, Starter at $25K a $1,500 target against $1,500, and Growth at $50K a $3,000 target against $2,000. Daily drawdown is None across all three, with a 50 percent consistency rule on the challenge that disappears once funded, and a 2 day minimum.
Merit accounts
Merit strips everything back. Phoenix describes it as having one rule, 30 calendar days, with no profit target, no minimum days and no daily drawdown. Its own framing is that it is like taking the stabilisers off a bicycle: everything that normally shapes how you trade is removed and what is left is your trading.
How the drawdown works instead
Phoenix explains its trailing drawdown clearly. It is a floor that follows you up, sitting a fixed distance below the highest balance your account has reached, and it only ever moves upward. When you make money it rises behind you; when you lose money it stays put. It applies to the whole account continuously rather than to a single trade, and if your balance falls below it the challenge is over. With end-of-day trailing, the limit is recalculated once a day after the close from your closing balance.
Final Comments
Phoenix states its rules are subject to change as the firm develops, with notification through its social channels and Discord. Odin, the Phoenix platform, includes a daily stop loss, daily take profit and account lockout, so you can set your own daily limit even though Phoenix does not impose one.
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.
