FundingTraders launches Daily Drawdown Shield, for evaluation accounts.

A one-time forgiveness add-on for daily loss limit breaches.

FundingTraders has launched the Daily Drawdown Shield, an add-on for evaluation accounts that forgives a single daily loss limit breach rather than failing the account immediately.

Cost and how the protection works.

• ✓Available as a 20% add-on to the base account price at checkout.
• ✓If a trader breaches the daily loss limit during the evaluation phase, the account survives that breach once.
• ✓Rather than failing the evaluation immediately on a daily loss limit breach, the trader can continue.

What happens on a second breach, and whether it extends to funded accounts.

FundingTraders' announcement confirms the shield forgives a breach "once" but does not specify what happens if a trader breaches the daily loss limit a second time, whether the evaluation then fails as normal, or something else applies. It also is not stated whether this protection carries over to the funded stage after passing an evaluation, or whether it is limited strictly to the evaluation phase.

A different kind of protection than FundingTraders' other recent add-ons.

This is distinct from FundingTraders' separately available No Minimum Trading Days add-on: that one removes a time-based requirement, while the Daily Drawdown Shield forgives a specific rule violation. For traders prone to occasional daily loss limit breaches from operational slips rather than a genuinely failed strategy, this add-on offers a real second chance during evaluation, at a defined 20% cost, worth weighing against the price of simply resetting after a failed attempt.

What to confirm before paying for the add-on.

Worth confirming directly with FundingTraders before purchasing: what happens on a second daily loss limit breach after the shield has already been used once, and whether any protection carries through to the funded stage.

If you'd rather trade without needing a safety net.

Add-ons like this trade upfront cost for a second chance on one rule. If you would rather choose a firm with looser daily loss terms from the start, it is worth comparing against an established alternative.
