Max Drawdown: 6% (Static)

Your maximum allowed loss is 6% of your starting balance.

Example:

  • Start at $100,000
  • Max loss allowed = $94,000
  • You must NEVER drop below $94,000 equity, in this case your account will be breached.

Because the drawdown is static, it does NOT move as you gain profits.

Even if you grow your account to $102,000, your allowed minimum remains $96,000.

This rule makes risk limits predictable and easy to understand.

Daily Loss Limit: None

There is no daily loss limit on the Lightning challenge.

You can have winning or losing days of any size as long as you do NOT violate the 6% static drawdown.

This gives traders maximum freedom to manage their own risk without worrying about day-to-day restrictions.
