How daily drawdown works
Your daily limit is a fixed slice of your account — on a $50,000 USD two-step it's 5%, or $2,500.00 USD. Each day at 00:00 server time we take your balance and subtract that slice: the result is your floor for the day.
Today that floor is $49,640.00 USD — the same number your account screen shows under the meter. If your equity touches it, trading pauses until tomorrow. It does not fail the account.
The one rule that fails an account
Only the max drawdown is terminal. Everything else — daily pauses, reviews — is recoverable, and the UI always says which is which.
