The two rules that end most accountsDua aturan yang paling sering menutup akun
Almost nobody loses an account by blowing up. They lose it to a daily limit measured in a way they did not expect, or to a drawdown line that moved while they were winning.Hampir tidak ada yang kehilangan akun karena ludes. Mereka kehilangannya karena batas harian yang dihitung dengan cara tak terduga, atau garis drawdown yang bergerak justru saat mereka sedang untung.

The daily limit is measured, not felt
A daily loss limit sounds simple until you ask what it is measured against: the balance at the start of the day, or the equity including open trades. Under an equity rule, an open position that is temporarily underwater can breach the limit before you have closed anything.
316 of the 835 plans here use a 3 per cent daily limit and 135 use 5 per cent. The percentage is the part people compare. The measurement is the part that closes accounts.
The drawdown line that follows you up
A static maximum drawdown sits at a fixed level under your starting balance and never moves. A trailing drawdown follows the account upward, so the more you make, the higher the floor sits beneath you.
452 plans here are static and 383 trail. A further 455 use the end-of-day variant, where the line is recalculated from the highest equity at the close of each day rather than tick by tick.
That difference matters most on your best day. Take a 100,000 dollar account up to 106,000 intraday under an end-of-day trailing rule, and the floor rises once the day closes. The profit you gave back is not simply forgotten.
Why this is worth reading twice
Both rules are published and neither is a trick. But they appear as one line on a pricing page and as several paragraphs in the rulebook, and the paragraphs are what decide whether an account survives a normal bad afternoon.
Before paying, find three answers: is the daily limit on balance or equity, does the drawdown trail, and if it trails, is it recalculated intraday or at the close.
Batas harian itu diukur, bukan dirasakan
Batas rugi harian kedengarannya sederhana sampai kamu tanya: diukur terhadap apa, saldo di awal hari atau equity termasuk posisi yang masih terbuka? Di aturan berbasis equity, posisi yang sementara minus bisa melanggar batas sebelum kamu menutup apa pun.
316 dari 835 paket di sini memakai batas harian 3 persen, dan 135 memakai 5 persen. Persennya yang dibandingkan orang. Cara mengukurnya yang menutup akun.
Garis drawdown yang ikut naik
Maksimum drawdown static duduk di level tetap di bawah saldo awal dan tidak pernah bergerak. Trailing drawdown mengikuti akun naik, jadi makin banyak kamu untung, makin tinggi lantai di bawah kakimu.
452 paket di sini bersifat static dan 383 bersifat trailing. Ada 455 paket lagi yang memakai varian akhir hari, yaitu garisnya dihitung ulang dari equity tertinggi saat penutupan hari, bukan tiap tick.
Perbedaannya paling terasa justru di hari terbaik kamu. Bawa akun 100.000 dolar naik ke 106.000 di tengah hari dengan aturan trailing akhir hari, lalu lantainya ikut naik begitu hari ditutup. Profit yang kamu kembalikan itu tidak dilupakan begitu saja.
Kenapa ini layak dibaca dua kali
Dua aturan ini diumumkan terbuka dan tidak ada yang curang. Tapi di halaman harga dia ditulis satu baris, sementara di rulebook dia beberapa paragraf, dan paragraf itulah yang menentukan akun selamat atau tidak di sore yang biasa-biasa saja.
Sebelum bayar, cari tiga jawaban: batas hariannya dihitung dari saldo atau equity, drawdown-nya trailing atau tidak, dan kalau trailing, dihitung ulang di tengah hari atau saat penutupan.
