Safe Mode & Pro Mode — Choose Your Drawdown Rules
Global4EX now offers two trading modes across all plans 1-Phase, 2-Phase, HFT Challenge, and Instant HFT.
Choose the mode that fits your trading style when placing an order.
Safe Mode
- Daily Drawdown: 3% — account is temporarily paused, resumes at 00:00 UTC
- Max Drawdown: 6% — account is permanently failed
- No daily loss limit — your account pauses and resets the next day
Pro Mode
- Daily Drawdown: 4.5% — account is permanently failed
- Max Drawdown: 10% — account is permanently failed
- Extra room, extra edge — higher limits for aggressive strategies
How It Works
The daily drawdown is calculated from your opening equity at 00:00 UTC each day.
- Safe Mode: If your equity drops by more than 3% of your account size, your account is paused until 00:00 UTC. It resumes automatically the next day.
- Pro Mode: If your equity drops by more than 4.5% of your account size, your account is permanently failed. Unlike Safe Mode, there is no reset — breaching the daily limit has the same consequence as breaching the max drawdown.
Who Does This Affect?
- All existing accounts have been set to Safe Mode (3% daily pause / 6% max DD). No change in behavior for current traders.
- New orders can select either Safe Mode or Pro Mode at checkout. The selected mode applies for the lifetime of that account.
Why Two Modes?
Safe Mode protects traders from daily losses with a temporary pause — you keep your account and try again the next day. Pro Mode gives you more room during the day (4.5% daily / 10% max) but treats every breach as permanent. Choose based on your risk tolerance and trading strategy.
