Port - Trading Rules and Drawdown
Learn how drawdown and profit cap work together to control risk and progression.
Daily Drawdown
Feature | Details |
Limit | 5% |
Based On | Higher of balance or equity |
Reset Time | 5 PM EST |
Example
Start of day:
Balance: 100,000
Equity: 101,000
Daily limit:
101,000 - 5,000 = 95,000
If equity falls below 96,000, you breach.

How It Works
The maximum drawdown does not move.
Example
Starting balance: 100,000
Max drawdown level: 90,000
Even if account grows to 110,000
The drawdown remains fixed at 90,000
Profit Cap
Feature | Details |
Limit | 2% per day |
Basis | Initial balance |
Applies To | Challenge and funded |
How Profit Cap Works
The profit cap limits how much profit counts per day, not how much you can make.
Any profit above the cap:
Does not count toward your target
Does not count toward payouts
Example 1
Account size: 100K
Daily cap: 2% = 2,000
Trader makes 3,500 in one day:
Counted profit = 2,000
Excess profit = 1,500 (ignored for progression and payout)
Example 2
Trader makes:
Day 1: 2,000
Day 2: 2,000
Day 3: 2,000
Total counted = 6,000
This is how progression is expected to happen.
