Instant daily limit
Instant accounts use a 4% maximum daily loss — the same daily limit as 1-Step and 2-Step programs, with an 8% overall cap. The limit is enforced on equity, so open floating losses count in real time.
Daily reset
Each broker trading day (MT5 server clock) resets your daily reference point. Closed P/L, floating loss, swaps, and commissions for that day all count toward the 4% cap.
