Lark Funding 1-Step Career Evaluation's daily loss limit is 5%, and breaching it ends the evaluation — the account fails — measured from your current balance. The rule above is fixed; what it means for your account is not — run your own win rate and average R against Lark Funding's full published rule set in the free calculator at app?firm=lark-funding.

Lark Funding sets a daily loss limit of 5% ($500 at the 10k tier, scaling with account size) at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, 200k), measured from day_start_balance balance. Breaching it ends the evaluation — the account fails.
