What is the Daily Pause Level?
The Daily Pause is a soft protection mechanism that freezes Execution for the day if your daily drawdown hits the 2% limit.
What does “paused until the next day” mean? It means your Execution is temporarily disabled until 00:00 MT5 server time (5:00 PM Colombia time).
Example: If you have a $100,000 account and hit a $2,000 loss in one day, Execution will be paused, but your account won’t be disqualified. You can resume Execution the next day.
Important: If you reach a profit of $3,000, only $2,000 will count toward your target. The rest will be automatically deducted at the end of the day. This cap also applies.
What is the Profit Cap?
Your daily profits are capped at 2% of the initial balance. This prevents excessive intraday gains due to high volatility or slippage.
Example:
Account: $100,000
Profit Cap: $2,000
If you make $2,250, only $2,000 will count.
The remaining $250 will be removed automatically.
There is a technical tolerance that includes commissions.
Real Max Loss = (Initial Balance × 2%) + Commissions
This ensures fairness in the event of unexpected price spikes or market conditions that trigger slightly worse Executions.
Example Calculation:
Initial Balance: $100,000
Daily Loss: 2% = $2,000
Commission: $5 per lot → $100 (20 lots)
Total Max Loss Allowed: $2,100
If your loss exceeds this due to unexpected volatility, the system will cap the recognized loss at the allowed amount.
