1Maximum daily loss is based on trailing drawdown. The trailing drawdown is recalculated daily based on your account balance at the start of each day, adjusting with any profits or losses.
2Maximum total loss is based on absolute drawdown. Absolute drawdown measures the largest loss from your initial account balance during the challenge, and it remains constant throughout the challenge.
