Equity Edge Rules

Equity Edge's plans state a maximum drawdown of 5% to 10% of the account size (drawdown type: trailing and static), across 7 plans. A consistency rule applies: 15% on Instant accounts: the largest winning day cannot exceed 15% of total net profits; none stated for 1-step and 2-step accounts. News trading is conditional: no opening or closing trades 2 minutes either side of high-impact news on Legacy and Swift, 5 minutes on funded Flagship and 8 minutes on Instant accounts; no restriction in Flagship evaluations; news profits over 25% of the profit share reject the payout.

Equity Edge's plans state a maximum drawdown of 5% to 10% of the account size (drawdown type: trailing and static), across 7 plans.

A daily loss limit of 3% to 5% is stated on 7 of 7 plans; where a plan shows a dash, no daily figure is recorded for it.
