What is Equity Protector

Estimated reading: 1 minute

The Equity Protector is an automated risk-control mechanism designed to prevent excessive floating losses. It monitors your real-time unrealized profit/loss and automatically closes all open positions if a predefined loss threshold is reached.

Equity Protector Threshold by Program

The trigger level depends on the account type:

  • Classic (2-Step & 1-Step) and PayFlex accounts:
    If your combined floating losses reaches 3% of your initial balance, all open positions will be automatically closed.
  • Instant Funding accounts:
    If your combined floating losses reaches 1% of your initial balance, all open positions will be automatically closed.

The calculation is based on floating drawdown.

Breach Classification

Soft Breach: The Company allows up to 2 soft breaches. The third soft breach becomes a hard breach, resulting in immediate account closure.

Hard Breach:hard breach occurs when you violate one of the program’s core risk rules. Hard breaches result in immediate account closure, so understanding these limits is essential.
