All Pro accounts at Traderscale are subject to a 5 percent daily drawdown limit.
This rule is designed to ensure responsible risk management and prevent significant losses within a single trading day.
How the 5 Percent Daily Drawdown Works
• The limit is 5 percent of the starting account balance
• It is calculated using equity or balance (whichever is higher)
• Both open and closed positions are included
Example:
On a $100,000 account, the maximum daily loss allowed is $5,000.
If at any time during the day your equity falls below the permitted daily threshold, the account will be considered breached.
The daily drawdown resets each day at 5pm EDT.
Where Can I Monitor My Daily Drawdown?
You can track your live daily drawdown level by:
Logging into your Traderscale Dashboard
Navigating to Accounts Overview
Clicking Go to Metrics on your selected trading account
Your breach level and remaining buffer are clearly displayed within the metrics section.
Important Reminder
Daily drawdown is based on equity at all times. Open trades can trigger a breach even if your closed balance appears compliant.
Traderscale recommends maintaining a comfortable buffer below your daily limit to account for normal market volatility.
