6. Challenge Logic (Main Mathematics)

For each account, the parameters are set:

• initial_balance

• profit_target_percent

• max_daily_drawdown_percent

• max_total_drawdown_percent

6.1 Profit Target Calculation

profit_target = initial_balance × (profit_target_percent / 100)

If:

current_equity ≥ initial_balance + profit_target

→ status = PASSED

⸻

6.2 Daily Drawdown

daily_loss_limit = initial_balance × (max_daily_drawdown_percent / 100)

If:

(starting balance of the day − current equity) > daily_loss_limit

→ status = FAILED

⸻

6.3 Total Drawdown

total_loss_limit = initial_balance × (max_total_drawdown_percent / 100)

If:

current_equity < initial_balance − total_loss_limit

→ status = FAILED

Verification should occur automatically with each new trade.
