SpiceProp's 5.5% daily loss limit ($2,750) gives you reasonable breathing room, but the math still demands discipline. At 1% risk per trade ($500), you can absorb 5 consecutive losses before breaching the daily limit. Push that to 2% risk ($1,000 per trade) and you're looking at just 2 losses before you're out. The danger scenario here is deceptively simple: three 2% losses in one session equals $3,000 in damage, putting you $250 over the daily limit and into account violation territory. For position sizing, let's get practical. Trading EURUSD with a 30-pip stop? Risk $500 (1% of account) divided by $3 per pip per standard lot equals 1.67 lots. Gold with a $20 stop? That same $500 risk allows for 2.5 micro lots when gold moves $1 per 0.1 lot. GBPJPY with a 40-pip stop gets you 1.25 standard lots. The 11% max drawdown ($5,500) is your absolute floor - this tracks your lowest account balance from the starting high-water mark. Hit $44,500 and you're done, regardless of daily performance. What changes between phases is simple: Phase 1 demands $5,000 profit (10%) to advance, while Phase 2 only requires $2,500 (5%) to get funded. The daily loss limit stays constant at 5.5% throughout. Your position sizes should remain consistent too - there's no reason to increase risk just because you're closer to funding. The absence of a consistency rule means you can make your entire profit target in one trade if the opportunity presents itself, but the daily loss limit still applies every single trading session.
