Do performance rewards impact my daily drawdown?

Severity Important

TL;DR

No. Requesting or receiving a performance reward does not impact daily drawdown limits. But once you request a reward, stop trading until it’s confirmed and paid.

How it works

  • Daily drawdown (Max Daily Loss) is calculated from your trading equity and resets at the daily reset time. It’s based on what your account does in the market (floating PnL + costs).
  • A performance reward is a payout request from eligible profits, it’s an accounting step, not a trade.
  • So: reward requests don’t alter the daily drawdown thresholds or how they’re calculated. When the new, reduced, balance will be computed after you request a reward, the max daily drawdown will also be adjusted

Common gotchas

  • Don’t confuse “reward payout” with “resetting risk.” Your limits are your limits.
  • If you submit a reward request and keep trading, you can mess up eligibility and get the request cancelled/rejected.
  • Trying to “trade while waiting” to protect profits is how people do the opposite. Pause trading.
  • Dashboard lag doesn’t protect you, if you breach, it counts.

Example

You’re funded, you request a $1,000 reward. Your max daily drawdown isn’t affected, the only thing that changes is your job: hands off the account until the request is confirmed and the reward is disbursed.
