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
