The Trading Pit — daily loss limit

Rules read from The Trading Pit's own documentation on 2026-07-30 · rules/the-trading-pit

The Trading Pit sets a daily loss limit of 2% ($1,000) at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (50k, 100k, 150k), measured from the initial account balance. Breaching it locks the account (trading stops for that account; it does not automatically end the evaluation).
