Rule 10 - Drawdown Rules
Golden Fund implements a “trader’s daily stop-loss” rule to manage risk. This rule sets a daily loss limit of 5% from the initial account balance. Throughout the trading day, the sum of the total outcome of all closed positions and the current floating P/L (profits/losses) must not exceed this daily loss limit. The formula for calculating the daily loss limit is as follows:
Current Daily Loss = Results of Closed Positions of This Day + Result of Open Positions
For example, under the Golden Plan Challenge with an initial account balance of $50,000, the maximum daily loss limit is $2,500. If you incur a $2,000 loss from closed trades, your account must not decline more than $500 that day, nor should your open floating losses exceed -$500. This limit includes commissions and swaps.
Additionally, the 5% (or 6%) drawdown rule must be adhered to based on your account balance or equity within a 24-hour period starting from 00:00 server time.
Drawdown % = [1 – (Lowest Equity or Balance for the Day) / (Starting Equity or Balance for the Day)] X 100
12% (or 10%) Overall Drawdown:Your account must not decline by 12% (or 10%) relative to balance or equity. This rule, also known as “account stop-loss,” applies to the entire duration of the testing period, not just one day. The calculation logic is similar to the Maximum Daily Loss, with the additional consideration that it spans the entire testing period. The limit includes commissions and swaps. For example, if you have a $10,000 account, 12% of that is $1,200. If your account balance falls below $8,800, it will have violated the overall drawdown rule.
Remember, both daily drawdown and maximum drawdown are calculated based on your daily balance.Rule 11 - Retakes and Extensions

Rule 19 - Golden Fund Factor (GF)
GF= Total Profit/Maximum Drawdown
A higher GF indicates a more effective trading strategy with a better risk-reward balance. To be considered among the top traders, your GF must meet or exceed the threshold set by Golden Fund.PF= Total Gross Profit/Total Gross Loss
While PF is useful, GF offers a more complete assessment of a trader’s ability to manage risk while achieving high returns. For these reasons, GF is preferred as the primary metric for evaluating and recognizing top traders on the Golden Fund platform
