What is the Daily Pause?
Updated yesterday

The Daily Pause is a protective feature designed to help you manage risk and stay in control of your trading. It applies only to the Two-Step Challenge PRO and the Master Account you receive after passing it.

This rule is not a breach of your account and simply acts as a cooldown period after reaching a predefined daily loss limit.



📉 How Does the Daily Pause Work?

Your Daily Pause limit is set at -3% of your initial account balance.

Once this limit is reached:

  • Your account is automatically paused for the rest of the trading day

  • You will not be able to open new trades until the daily reset at 16:00 CST

  • This gives you time to reflect on your strategy and come back fresh the next day

The pause activates as soon as your losses reach -3%, calculated from your original starting balance. It does not adjust based on profits or previous drawdown levels.

When a trade triggers the -3% Daily Pause, the system may take a few seconds to react and close the position. In fast-moving markets, this means your trade might close slightly above or below the exact -3% mark. However, this does not mean the limit wasn't hit—the price did reach the -3% threshold, which is what activates the pause.



⏱️ When Can You Trade Again?

The Daily Pause resets every day at 16:00 CST (Central Standard Time).
After the reset:

  • Your account will be automatically reactivated

  • You can continue trading as usual with a fresh daily limit

  • A countdown timer is visible on your dashboard, and

  • You’ll also receive an email notification once the account is active again



🚨 Summary

  • Daily Pause is triggered when your losses reach -3% of your initial balance

  • It applies only to the Two-Step Challenge PRO and its Master Account

  • It is not a breach, just a temporary pause for the day

  • Trading resumes after the 16:00 CST daily reset
