What is the Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit?

The maximum daily drawdown limit at PTB depends on the specific plan you choose. Each plan is designed with its own risk parameters to ensure fair, controlled, and consistent trading behavior across all accounts.

Daily Drawdown Resets Every Day

PTB uses a daily starting balance system, meaning your daily drawdown limit is calculated based on the balance at the start of each trading day.

This ensures accuracy and helps traders clearly understand how much they can risk within a single day.

Example (simple):

• If your daily drawdown limit is 4%
• And your day starts with $50,000
• Your maximum allowed loss for that day is $2,000

At the next day’s open, the limit is recalculated again based on the daily starting balance.

Why Daily Drawdown Rules Matter

Daily drawdown rules help:

• Protect accounts from excessive one-day losses
• Encourage responsible risk management
• Ensure traders follow consistent trading behavior
• Maintain a stable evaluation environment

These are core components of PTB’s risk control system.

Drawdown Limits Differ by Plan

Since each PTB plan is built for different trading styles and goals, the exact maximum daily drawdown percentage can vary.
Some plans offer:

• Higher flexibility
• Stricter limits
• Different drawdown structures
• Add-ons that may modify risk parameters

For this reason, it’s important to review the details of the specific plan you select.
