FTMO — daily loss limit
FTMO sets a daily loss limit of 3% ($1,500) at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (50k, 100k, 200k), measured from the initial account balance. Breaching it ends the evaluation — the account fails.

|---|---|
| Limit | 3% ($1,500) |

| On breach | fail |

Unresolved in FTMO's own documentation (read, not reconciled): the exact UTC time the daily loss limit resets across daylight-saving changes.
