Biggest Winning Trade vs. Biggest Losing Trade

Definition:
A trader’s largest losing trade must not exceed their largest winning trade.

Rule Requirements:

  • Your single largest losing trade (realized loss) must be equal to or smaller than your single largest winning trade (realized profit).

  • The comparison is based on closed trades only.

  • This rule is reviewed during payout evaluations.

Examples:

Allowed

  • Biggest Winning Trade: +$1,200

  • Biggest Losing Trade: -$800

Allowed

  • Biggest Winning Trade: +$1,500

  • Biggest Losing Trade: -$1,500

Violation

  • Biggest Winning Trade: +$900

  • Biggest Losing Trade: -$1,300

Payout Review:
If, at the time of a payout request, your largest losing trade exceeds your largest winning trade, your payout request will be denied.

However, this is not considered a permanent account violation. You may continue trading and submit a new payout request once you have generated a winning trade that is equal to or greater than your largest losing trade, bringing your account back into compliance with this rule.
