Topstep Daily Loss Limit Explained — Your Complete Guide to Passing the Challenge

The Topstep Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount of money a trader can lose in a single trading day. For the $50,000 account, it is $2,000; for the $100,000 account, it is $2,500; and for the $150,000 account, it is $3,000. This limit resets every day at 5 PM CT.

The daily loss limit is calculated based on your account balance at the start of the trading day (5 PM CT). It represents the maximum unrealized and realized loss allowed from that starting balance. For example, on a $50K account starting at $50,000, you cannot let equity drop below $48,000.

If you hit the daily loss limit, your account will be automatically locked for the remainder of the trading day. Repeated violations may result in account termination. This is why proper risk management is essential when using any Prop Firm Passing Service.
