Liquidation and forced closure
When trading is stopped and why account-wide risk matters.
On this page
The threshold applies to the account
In RiseUp, forced closure follows a breach of the program's risk limits. New accounts compare equity, including every open position, against their floors. Previously activated accounts retain their assigned version, which may check the lower of balance and equity. Do not assume a loss is limited to one trade's margin while other funds remain outside the risk calculation. Profitable and losing positions, fees and funding all contribute to the account's condition.
Daily and total thresholds
Basic allows a total loss of 10% of initial account size in phase one; Advanced allows 6%. Their total thresholds are fixed. New Funded-program accounts have a floor equal to 94% of peak equity, including open profit. Falling equity does not lower a floor that has already risen. Previously activated accounts retain their assigned calculation version; an older trailing limit may follow realized balance. The daily limit must also be respected where the program has one.
Trailing limit example
A new Funded account starts at 10,000 USDT: its initial allowance is 600 USDT and its floor is 9,400 USDT. When peak equity reaches 10,500 USDT, the allowance becomes 630 USDT and the floor becomes 9,870 USDT. The peak includes open profit. A later equity decline does not lower the raised floor. A breach occurs below the floor even if one position still appears adequately margined. This example describes the current version and does not change previously activated account terms.
What happens after a breach
New entries are blocked, pending orders are cancelled and open positions are sent for forced closure using available quotes. A market recovery does not undo a breach already recorded. History and analytics remain available for review. Stop Loss helps manage a trade but does not guarantee account survival during a gap or a quote delay. Check headroom to both limits before increasing exposure or holding a position across the start of a new risk day.
