Daily Loss Limit You Must Not Exceed While Trading
The Maximum Daily Pause represents the maximum loss a trader is allowed to incur within a single trading day while trading under Global4EX Challenge Phase rules.
The limit is calculated based on the Initial Account Balance and measured from the start of each trading day.
The daily loss calculation includes:
• All closed trades
• All unrealized losses from open positions
If the account Balance or Equity drops below the permitted threshold at any moment during the trading day, the Maximum Daily Pause is triggered.
🔹 How Is the Maximum Daily Pause Calculated?
At any time during the trading day, the combined loss of open and closed trades must not exceed:
• 3% of the Initial Account Balance
This rule applies to all Global4EX 1-Phase and 2-Phase Challenge accounts.
📐 Formula
Current Daily Loss =
Results of closed positions for the day
- Unrealized result of open positions
This value must never exceed 3% of the Initial Account Balance.
📊 Examples
Example 1 – Challenge Phase Account
• Initial Account Balance: $100,000
• Maximum Daily Pause (3%): $3,000
If Balance or Equity drops below $97,000, the Maximum Daily Pause is triggered.
Example 2 – Profitable Start of Day
• Initial Account Balance: $100,000
• Start-of-day Balance: $102,500
• Maximum Daily Pause remains: $3,000
If Balance or Equity drops below $99,500, the Maximum Daily Pause is triggered.
(Daily loss is always based on the Initial Balance, not accumulated profits.)
Example 3 – Loss Progression During the Day
• Trading day starts at 00:00 UTC
• Initial Account Balance: $100,000
• Maximum Daily Pause: $3,000
If Balance or Equity reaches $97,000:
• All open trades are automatically closed
• All trading activity is disabled for the remainder of the day
At 00:00 UTC the next day:
• Trading permissions are restored
• The account remains active and eligible to trade
🔑 Key Points
• Applies to Global4EX 1-Phase and 2-Phase Challenge accounts
• Maximum Daily Pause equals 3% of Initial Account Balance
• Triggering the rule does not fail or terminate the account
• All open trades are closed once the limit is reached
• Trading is paused for the remainder of the trading day
• Trading resumes automatically at 00:00 UTC the next day
• The limit resets daily
• Both Balance and Equity are monitored continuously
📝 Explanation
The Maximum Daily Pause rule is designed to protect traders from excessive intraday drawdowns while preserving account eligibility.
When the daily loss threshold is reached:
• All positions are closed automatically
• Trading is paused for the remainder of the day
• The account remains active
Trading resumes automatically at the start of the next trading day.
Unlike maximum loss violations, triggering the Maximum Daily Pause does not result in account termination, but instead enforces:
• Emotional discipline through forced pauses
• Consistent behavior required to qualify for funding
Compliance with the Maximum Daily Pause rule is mandatory at all times during the Challenge Phase.
