How the daily loss is measured. A fixed 5% of the initial balance. Equity may not fall more than that below the balance at 00:00 server time; closed and floating losses, swaps and commissions all count. Resets at 00:00 server time (GMT+2, GMT+3 in summer).
Max loss. Balance or equity may never fall below 90% of the initial balance. Does not trail.
Consistency. None in the challenge. The On-Demand payout needs no single day above 40% of profit.
