TL;DR: At FundedNext Futures (Bolt Challenge), the daily loss limit is the maximum you can lose in one day, including closed losses, floating losses, commissions, and fees. For a $50,000 account, the daily loss limit is $1,000, meaning your equity must stay above $49,000. Hitting the limit causes a soft breach—trading is paused for the rest of the day and resets the next trading day. The limit trails from the highest end-of-day (EOD) balance, so if your balance grows, the daily loss threshold adjusts upward accordingly.
The daily loss limit at FundedNext Futures Bolt Challenges is the maximum amount a trader can lose in a single trading day. It includes both closed and floating losses, as well as broker commissions and fees.
At FundedNext Futures, exceeding this limit is considered a soft breach. If the limit is reached, trading is disabled for the rest of the day and automatically resets to its original amount at the start of the next trading day.
How Does the Daily Loss Limit Work?
If a trader's total loss (including both closed losses and floating losses) reaches the daily loss limit, trading will be disabled for the rest of the day.
Daily loss limit for FundedNext Futures applies equally to both the Challenge and the FundedNext Account.
Daily Loss Limits by Account Size
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$50K Account | $1,000 |
Important Considerations
Floating Losses Count: FundedNext Futures daily loss limit includes floating (unrealized) losses. If an open trade moves into a loss and hits the limit, the system will disable trading, even if the trade has not been closed.
Daily Loss Limit Calculation
When calculating the daily loss limit, the following components are considered:
Commissions (per side/contract)
Regulatory and Exchange Fees (round-turn)
Profit/Loss from both closed and running trades
How to Calculate Daily Loss Limit in FundedNext Futures Bolt Challenge?
Case 01:
If you have a $50,000 Challenge, your daily loss limit is $49,000. If your equity reaches $49,000 or lower, your account will experience a soft breach.
Balance: $50,000
Daily Loss Limit: $49,000
Permitted Loss: $1,000
If you have a loss of $800 from closed trades, you can still have up to $200 in floating or unrealized losses from your open trades for the rest of the day. If a trader hits the Daily Loss Limit, their account will experience a "soft breach," and trading will be disabled for the remainder of the day. The limit will reset at the start of the next trading day.
Case 02
If you have a $50,000 Challenge, your Daily Loss Limit is $1,000.
If your equity reaches $49,000 or lower, your account will experience a soft breach.
Start of Day 1
Balance: $50,000
Daily Loss Limit Level: $49,000
Permitted Loss: $1,000
If you incur $500 in closed-trade losses during Day 1:
Remaining permitted loss for Day 1: $500
Your account is safe as long as equity stays above $49,000.
Start of Day 2
Your Daily Loss Limit resets to $1,000 again for the new day.
Case 03:
If you have a $50,000 Challenge, your Daily Loss Limit is $1,000.
If your equity reaches $49,000 or lower, your account will experience a soft breach.
Start of Day 1
Balance (EOD from previous day): $50,000
Daily Loss Limit Level: $49,000
Permitted Loss for the day: $1,000
Now imagine that by the end of Day 1 (EOD), your closed trades result in $1,500 profit:
Day 1 EOD Balance: $51,500
In Futures (Trailing System), the Daily Loss Limit is calculated from the highest EOD balance:
Trailing Daily Loss Limit Level = $51,500 − $1,000 = $50,500
So on the next trading day, if your equity reaches $50,500 or lower, it triggers a soft breach.
