Not every rule has the same consequence. Some rules end the account immediately, others only pause trading or delay your payout.
Consequences by rule
| Rule | What happens |
|---|---|
| Maximum drawdown reached | Account breached. Open positions are closed and the account can no longer be traded |
| Daily loss limit reached (Edge, Direct Pass) | Trading paused until the next session. The account stays active |
| Consistency rule not met | Nothing is closed. You just need to keep trading before passing or requesting a payout |
| Position held overnight, first time | Warning. The account stays active |
| Position held overnight or over the weekend again | Account closed |
| Prohibited practices (bots, hedging, account sharing, account passing…) | Account closed and pending payouts cancelled |
When an account is breached
- Your open positions are closed automatically and the account is disabled for trading.
- You receive an email and the account is marked as Breached in your dashboard, with the reason and the time.
- The account's history stays available in your dashboard.
What can I do next?
- Challenge Flex or Edge: you can reset your Challenge at a reduced price and start again with a fresh account.
- Livex, Direct Pass or Freedom: a breached funded account cannot be reactivated. You can start a new Challenge or buy a new funded account at any time.
Do I lose access to my other accounts?
No. A breach only affects the account where it happened. Your other active accounts keep working normally, with the same Rithmic login.
