Soft Breach vs. Hard Breach

What is the difference between a Soft Breach and a Hard Breach?

Legion Funding uses both Soft Breaches and Hard Breaches depending on the trading rule violated.

Soft Breach

A Soft Breach is a warning. Your account remains active, but repeated violations may result in a Hard Breach.

Examples:

  • Funded Accounts Only: Closing an individual trade before the 1-minute minimum holding period.

    • 1st violation: Soft Breach

    • 2nd violation: Hard Breach & account termination

Hard Breach

A Hard Breach results in immediate account failure or termination.

Examples include:

  • Exceeding the Daily Drawdown limit.

  • Exceeding the Maximum Drawdown limit.

  • Average trade duration below 2 minutes (applies to both Evaluation & Funded Accounts).

  • Second violation of the 1-minute minimum holding period rule on Funded Accounts.

Important: Hard Breaches are final and cannot be reversed. Always ensure you comply with all trading rules to keep your account in good standing.
