Breach
A breach is a violation of an account rule — most often crossing the drawdown floor or the daily loss limit — that ends the account immediately.
How it works
The platform flattens open positions and disables trading. Rule-based breaches are automatic and not subject to appeal, because the check is arithmetic. Breaches for prohibited conduct — hedging across accounts, prohibited automation, copy trading from another person — are reviewed manually and can affect multiple accounts. A pending payout that has not been approved is typically forfeited by a breach.
Why it matters on a funded account
Every breach traces back to a sizing or rule decision made earlier. The account does not end at the moment of the loss; it ends at the moment the size was chosen.
