Traderscale Speedy Daily Drawdown

Updated over a week ago

All Speedy accounts at Traderscale are subject to a 4 percent trailing daily drawdown limit.

This rule is designed to ensure consistent risk management and prevent excessive losses within a single trading day.


How the 4 Percent Daily Drawdown Works

• The limit is 4 percent of the starting account balance
• It is calculated using equity, not balance
• It resets daily at 5pm EDT

Example:

On a $100,000 account, the maximum daily loss allowed is $4,000.

If at any time during the day your equity falls below the permitted daily threshold, the account will be considered breached.


Where Can I Monitor My Daily Drawdown?

You can track your live daily drawdown level by:

  1. Logging into your Traderscale Dashboard

  2. Navigating to Accounts Overview

  3. Clicking Go to Metrics on your selected account

Your current breach level and remaining buffer are clearly displayed within the metrics section.


Important Reminder

Daily drawdown is based on equity or balance (whichever is higher).

Traderscale recommends maintaining a comfortable buffer below the daily limit to account for volatility and spread fluctuations.
