Wie wird der tägliche simulierte Drawdown in der Nexus Challenge/Funded berechnet?

The Nexus Challenge is divided into a three phase format that emphasizes balance-based drawdown regulations, which dictate that daily drawdown limit is 4% based on the initial/starting account balance.
​

This 4% is always calculated from the initial/starting account balance and is subtracted from the end-of-day balance at the time of the daily drawdown reset, which occurs at 5 PM EST.
​

Daily Drawdown (Equity/Balance) Limit = End-of-Day Balance − (Initial Account Balance × 4%)
​
​Hinweis: All examples below are based on a $100,000 account for easier understanding. The same logic applies proportionally to other account sizes.

✅ Example 1: Starting Drawdown
​

Consider an account that starts with a $100,000 initial/starting account balance. With a daily drawdown limit of 4% on the initial/starting balance, the permissible loss for the day is $4,000. This sets the account’s lower threshold at $96,000.
​
The 4% or $4,000 daily loss limit will always be subtracted from the end-of-day balance.
​
So Any drop below the $96,000 threshold — whether in equity or balance — will be considered a breach of the daily loss limit.

✅ Beispiel 2: Einfluss von Gewinnen auf den Drawdown
​

Consider an account that starts with a $100,000 initial/starting account balance. In a scenario where a trader’s account balance increases from $100,000 to $103,000 due to a $3,000 profit from closed trades, the drawdown calculations are adjusted the following day. Starting with a new day balance of $103,000, since the 4% daily drawdown is calculated from the initial/starting account balance, which is $4,000, this sets the new threshold at $99,000.
​
The 4% or $4,000 daily loss limit will always be subtracted from the end-of-day balance.

So Any drop below the $99,000 threshold — whether in equity or balance — will be considered a breach of the daily loss limit.

✅ Beispiel 3: Einfluss von Verlusten auf den Drawdown
​

Consider an account that starts with a $100,000 initial/starting account balance.
​
In a scenario where a trader’s account balance drops from $100,000 to $97,000 due to a $3,000 loss from closed trades, the drawdown calculations are adjusted the following day. Starting with a new day balance of $97,000, since the 4% daily drawdown is calculated from the initial/starting account balance, which is $4,000, this sets the new threshold at $93,000.
​
The 4% or $4,000 daily loss limit will always be subtracted from the end-of-day balance.

So Any drop below the $93,000 threshold — whether in equity or balance — will be considered a breach of the daily loss limit.

✅ Example 4: Impact of Floating Profits
​

Consider an account that starts with a $100,000 initial/starting account balance.

If a trader has an open position showing an unrealized profit of $2,000 at the time of the daily drawdown reset (5 PM EST), the equity becomes $102,000 while the balance remains $100,000. However, the 4% daily drawdown is still calculated from the initial/starting account balance. Therefore, the loss limit remains $4,000, setting the threshold at $96,000.
​
The 4% or $4,000 daily loss limit will always be subtracted from the end-of-day balance.

So Any drop below the $96,000 threshold — whether in equity or balance — will be considered a breach of the daily loss limit.

✅ Beispiel 5: Einfluss von offenen Verlusten
​

Consider an account that starts with a $100,000 initial/starting account balance.

If a trader has an open position showing an unrealized loss of $2,000 at the time of the daily drawdown reset (5 PM EST), this brings the equity down to $98,000 while the balance remains $100,000. However, the 4% daily drawdown is calculated from the initial/starting account balance. Therefore,, the loss limit remains $4,000, setting the threshold at $96,000.

The 4% or $4,000 daily loss limit will always be subtracted from the end-of-day balance.

Any drop below the $96,000 threshold — whether in equity or balance — will be considered a breach of the daily loss limit..

Jedes dieser Beispiele verdeutlicht, wie tägliche Gewinne, Verluste sowie unrealisierte Gewinne oder Verluste mit den Drawdown-Regeln der Nexus Challenge zusammenwirken und somit die Risikostrategie und das Finanzmanagement von einem Handelstag zum nächsten beeinflussen.

​Hinweis: Stelle sicher, dass dein Kontostand und deine Equity weder das tägliche Verlustlimit noch das maximale Verlustlimit unterschreiten – egal ob durch offene (floating) oder geschlossene (realisierte) Verluste. Ein Verstoß gegen diese Grenzen führt zur Beendigung oder Kündigung deines Kontos.
