Clear drawdown: the Max Loss Limit
On a Clear account the Max Loss Limit is your only limit. There's no daily loss limit sitting alongside it. Hitting it closes the account immediately; everything else is up to you.
The same model applies in the evaluation and once you're funded.
Your Max Loss Limit by size
| Tier | Account size | Max Loss Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | $25K | $1,000 |
| Gold | $50K | $2,000 |
| Platinum | $100K | $3,000 |
| Titanium | $150K | $4,500 |
It's measured end-of-day
Your Max Loss Limit trails your highest closing balance — never an intraday high.
This matters more on Clear than anywhere else, because it's your only limit. A rough patch mid-session can't end your account: only where you finish the day counts. The limit follows your account up on every day you close higher, and intraday spikes never move it.
It locks in your gains
Once your account climbs past its initial trail balance, the Max Loss Limit permanently locks at your starting balance + $100 and never moves again.
| Tier | Trails until you close above | Then locks permanently at |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | $26,100 | $25,100 |
| Gold | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| Platinum | $103,100 | $100,100 |
| Titanium | $154,600 | $150,100 |
From that point on, the profit you've earned is protected — the limit can't climb toward your balance and squeeze you out of a winning account.
How the two phases differ
- In the evaluation the limit simply trails your closing balance as you work toward your target. No lock is involved — just room to trade until you pass or fail.
- Once funded it trails the same way, then locks at your starting balance + $100 as your balance grows, and never falls back.
What happens when you take a payout
On a funded Clear account, requesting a payout relocks your Max Loss Limit to that locked balance (your starting balance + $100).
This is worth understanding before your first request: taking profit out resets the protected floor rather than leaving it where your grown balance had pushed it. Your dashboard shows your limit before and after. See Clear payouts.
Why this matters on Clear
Clear gives you no daily ceiling, which means nothing automatically stops a bad session — the Max Loss Limit is the backstop, and it's measured end-of-day. That's a lot of freedom, and it puts your daily risk management entirely in your hands.
See Clear has no daily loss limit for what that trade-off looks like day to day.
