On Futures Prime accounts, the Daily Pause represents the maximum amount you are allowed to lose in a single day. If your losses reach this limit, all open positions will be closed, and your trading will be paused until the next day.
Your updated Daily Pause limit is displayed on your dashboard and is recalculated daily at 16:15 CT, when the markets close.
Example:
If you have a $50,000 demo account with a Daily Drawdown limit of $1,000, your Dashboard will show the limit set at $49,000.
This means that if your current equity (including unrealized P&L) drops below $49,000, your account will be automatically paused for the remainder of the day.
If you finish the trading day with an account balance of $49,100, then at 16:15 CT, your new Daily Drawdown limit for the next day will be updated to $48,100
(calculated as: $49,100 – $1,000).
