# What is Daily Drawdown?



Daily Drawdown is the maximum amount your account balance is allowed to fall within a single trading day, measured from 17:00:00 CT to 15:55:00 CT the next day. Breaching it closes all open trades automatically at the end of day. It applies during both the evaluation stage and the Funded stage.
