2% Static Maximum Loss
One Step Daily uses a 2% static Maximum Loss. Static means the normal Maximum Loss level is calculated from the initial account balance and does not trail upward when your account makes profit.
Normal Maximum Loss Level = Initial Account Balance - 2% of Initial Account Balance
Examples Before Any Payout
$50,000 account
2% Maximum Loss = $1,000
Static Maximum Loss Level = $49,000
If the account grows to $52,000, the normal Maximum Loss Level remains $49,000. It does not trail to $51,000.
$100,000 account
2% Maximum Loss = $2,000
Static Maximum Loss Level = $98,000
If the account grows to $105,000, the normal Maximum Loss Level remains $98,000.
Maximum Loss Lock Upon Payout
The normal 2% Maximum Loss is static, but a separate payout rule applies. Once a payout is approved, the Maximum Loss Level locks at the original starting balance.
The payout lock is triggered at approval, not when payment processing finishes.

Key Reminder
The 2% Maximum Loss is static during normal trading.
It does not trail as the account grows.
Payout approval is the event that moves/locks the Maximum Loss Level to the original starting balance.
Leave sufficient balance above the locked level after requesting a payout.
