This page does not state which purchase dates these terms cover.
Daily loss
The daily loss limit is 5% of initial capital on the 2-Step program and 3% of initial capital on the 1-Step program. FTMO measures it from the balance at 00:00 CE(S)T. Equity, including open profit or loss, swaps and commissions, must not fall below the daily floor.
Maximum loss
The maximum loss is 10% of initial capital. It is static on the 2-Step program. On the 1-Step program it is an end-of-day trailing limit: the highest midnight balance, or initial capital if higher, minus 10% of initial capital. Equity must not fall below this floor.
Maximum risk per trade
The loss-rule sources cited below do not specify a separate maximum risk per trade. This does not confirm that no other risk restrictions apply.
