What Are the Drawdown Limits?

The maximum drawdown, daily drawdown and drawdown type will vary depending on which program you are trading.



INSTANT FUNDING


  • The maximum drawdown at every stage of the instant funding program is 6%.
  • This is a RELATIVE DRAWDOWN based on your BALANCE.


EXAMPLE


If you are trading the 10K account, your account balance must not fall below $9,400.


If you reach an account balance of $10,250, your new minimum account balance would be $9,650.


If you then reach an account balance of $10,900 **, your new **minimum account balance would be $10,000.


Once your drawdown reaches 10K, it is then locked in place.


If you then have a loss of -$300 **, putting your balance at **$10,600, your minimum account balance would remain at $10,000.



ONE-STEP


  • The maximum drawdown for the One Step program including the evaluation phase is 8%.
  • This is a RELATIVE DRAWDOWN based on your BALANCE.


EXAMPLE


If you are trading the 10K account, your account balance must not fall below $9,200.


If you reach an account balance of $10,250, your new minimum account balance would be $9,450.


If you then reach an account balance of $10,900 **, your new **minimum account balance would be $10,000.


Once your drawdown reaches 10K, it is then locked in place.


If you then have a loss of -$300 **, putting your balance at **$10,600, your minimum account balance would remain at $10,000.



TWO-STEP


  • The maximum drawdown for the challenge phase is 10%.
  • The maximum drawdown for the verification phase is 5%
  • The maximum drawdown for level 1 - 7 is 10%.
  • This is a STATIC DRAWDOWN at all levels.


EXAMPLE
