The example below shows exactly how deposits, trading credit, and the max‑loss rule interact in a fully scaled 10× Account. This is the cleanest way to explain the model to traders who understand drawdown math and want to map it to their own risk plan.
Example:
A trader deposits 5,000 USD, and StoicFX allocates 50,000 USD in trading credit, giving a visible account balance of 55,000 USD while only 5,000 USD is truly at risk.
The maximum loss is 5,000 USD (10% of deposit), so if equity falls to the equivalent of 45,000 USD on the boosted account, the 10× Account closes permanently; if equity rises instead, the profit above the original deposit is withdrawable under the normal payout rules.
Because there is no trailing drawdown, account growth can compound cleanly, and the trader can choose when to withdraw profits versus leaving them in the account as an additional buffer.
