4. Risk Management & Drawdown Limits
Strict risk management is essential for successful trading on PropaTrade. All accounts have predefined risk parameters that must be respected.
Risk Parameters:
• Daily Drawdown Limit: 5%
The daily drawdown is the maximum you can lose in a single trading day, set at 5% of your account value. At midnight server time, we take the higher value between your closing balance and equity (including open trades). Your daily drawdown limit is 5% of this amount.
Examples:
Scenario 1: New ₹10L Account:
Daily limit: ₹50,000 | Breach level: ₹9,50,000
Scenario 2: Existing Account:
Midnight values: Balance ₹12,00,000, Equity ₹12,20,000
Daily limit: ₹61,000 (5% of higher value ₹12,20,000)
Breach level: ₹11,59,000
• Maximum Drawdown Limit: 10%
Your account is protected by a 10% maximum drawdown limit based on your highest account value (including open trades). As you reach new highs, your drawdown limit increases accordingly.
Example: 10L Account (Weekly Warriors or Trading Titans)
Scenario 1: No New Highs
Start: ₹10,00,000 → Max drawdown stays at ₹1,00,000 (10%)
Breach point: Below ₹9,00,000
Scenario 2: Making New Highs
Start: ₹10,00,000 → Grow to ₹12,00,000 → Max drawdown now ₹1,20,000 (10%)
Breach point: Below ₹10,80,000
• Position Size: Maximum 2% risk at a time on the account (only on funded phase)
• Stop Loss: Mandatory on all positions within 120 seconds of opening a
position (only on funded phase)
Breach of any risk parameter results in immediate account suspension.
