Daily Loss Limit by Account Type
Breakdown by Account Type
One Step Sim Funded
The daily loss limit is 2.5% of your initial balance. It counts closed and floating losses plus broker commissions and fees, so an open trade moving against you can trigger it. Hit it and you lose trading access for the rest of that day only, then it comes back automatically the next day. The limit resets to its original amount each new trading day regardless of your profits or losses, so it does not trail.
Instant Sim Funded
Instant Sim Funded accounts use the same 2.5% figure and the same soft breach behaviour. Your access returns the following day.
Any account with the No Daily DD add-on
FTUK sells a No Daily DD add-on you can select when buying your plan. Accounts carrying it are not affected by the daily drawdown limit at all. That makes FTUK one of the few firms where the daily loss limit is optional at the point of purchase rather than a fixed rule.
Final Comments
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.
