The Maximum Daily Loss Rule
If you hit your daily loss limit, the platform closes. No exceptions. This rule saves accounts.
What This Means
Every professional trader has a daily stop-out rule. If you lose 3% of your account in a single day, you stop trading for that day. You can't make good decisions after multiple losses — your emotions take over and you revenge trade, widen stops, or overtrade. The 3% rule protects you from your own psychology.

Common Mistake
The days that destroy accounts are always the days after you ignore this rule 'just this once'. It's never just once.
