Do payouts affect my maximum drawdown equity limit?

This section only applies to 2-Step Breakout Accounts.

The maximum drawdown for 1-Step Breakout Accounts does not change - it is static throughout. As a result, payouts do not affect the 1-Step maximum drawdown as it remains unchanged.

For 2-Step Breakout Accounts, payouts will reduce your High Water Mark ('HWM' in your dashboard).

This offers traders flexibility without penalizing them with tighter risk rules if they receive payouts.

Importantly, only payouts can reduce your HWM. Trading losses will not reduce your HWM.
