50K 1-Step Express
$50,000 account
1-Step Express
- Profit target
- $5,000
- Max loss
- $3,000Trailing (intraday) — Follows your intraday peak (open profit included), then locks at breakeven (your starting balance) once you've earned the buffer.
- Daily loss limit
- Yes — basis unverified (see notes)
- Min trading days
- None
- Consistency rule
- None
- 1-Step Express uses a RELATIVE (trailing) max drawdown of 6% that follows your highest CLOSED balance (the high-water mark) — floating profit never raises the floor, but your equity (balance + open trades) can breach it at any moment. Don't log an intraday unrealized peak on this account; TradersGuild's closed-trade peak already matches FTP's line.
- Once your profit covers the drawdown distance the line LOCKS at your starting balance and stops trailing.
- DAILY LOSS: a daily loss limit exists, but FTP states its basis and reset time three different ways across its own docs (prior-day CLOSED balance @ 23:59 server / greater-of balance-or-equity @ 16:59 EST / 17:00 EST) — so it is NOT encoded as a meter here. Set your own daily stop meanwhile. (The 1-Step 4% figure was also not re-quoted this pass.)
FT+ (Funded)
