Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	Maximum Daily LossAbility Challenge uses a static daily drawdown that resets at rollover (00:00 GMT+2): 7.5% during the Challenge stage and 5% during the Verification stage. Audacity also states the Ability Live phase daily drawdown is 5%. The Funded Trader Program (FTP) uses a 5% trailing daily drawdown (moves up with equity highs).	Maximum Daily LossFunded Futures Network does not enforce a separate daily loss limit. Risk is managed entirely through the trailing drawdown mechanism, which is one of FFN's distinguishing features compared to most competitors.
