Both ProTrader and ProTrader Swing accounts have the same Daily Loss limit of -5% and Maximum loss limit of -10%. Also the profit targets are exactly the same.
The main difference lies in how the Daily Loss limit is calculated at the start of each trading day.
ProTrader
The Daily Loss Limit is based on the End-of-Day (EOD) Equity — your account equity including all open profits and losses at midnight (UTC+0).
This means that if you have open trades during the midnight rollover, the calculation will take them into account, even if you haven’t closed them yet.
For traders who hold open positions overnight, this can make the limit tighter, as unrealized losses or profits affect the next day’s allowed loss.
ProTrader Swing
The Daily Loss Limit is Balance Based, a.k.a is based on the End-of-Day (EOD) Balance — your account balance at the end of the day, excluding any open trades.
Open positions held overnight do not affect the daily loss limit calculation until they are closed.
This gives swing traders more flexibility when holding trades for several days, as the daily loss limit is not impacted by open profit or loss at midnight.
Example:
Account size: 50,000 USD
Daily Loss Limit: -5% (2,500 USD)
Scenario: You hold a position overnight with an open profit of 1,500 USD, so your EOD Equity is 51,500 USD and your EOD balance is 50,000 USD
ProTrader: Next day’s daily loss limit is calculated from 51,500 USD equity → breach level = 48,925 USD.
ProTrader Swing: Next day’s daily loss limit is calculated from 50,000 USD balance → breach level = 47,500 USD.
💡 Which one should you choose?
If you usually day trade and close positions before midnight, both accounts behave the same.
If you are a swing trader and keep trades open for multiple days, ProTrader Swing gives you more room, as the daily loss limit is not affected by open P/L during the rollover.
