Instant Funding Drawdown Rules

Written by Evercrest Funding

Daily Drawdown: 3% trailing.

This is based off the highest of your balance or equity going into the new day.

Maximum Loss: 6% trailing.

A trailing drawdown means the drawdown level moves up as your account grows, based on the highest balance or equity reached.

The drawdown limits are updated for the new trading day at 22:00pm UTC.

Example: On a $100,000 prop firm account (3% daily drawdown, 6% trailing max drawdown)

(Assume the max drawdown trails your highest equity watermark and stays 6% below it.)

3% Daily Drawdown

  • If you start the day at $100,000, daily loss limit = $3,000

  • Daily floor: $97,000

  • Go below $97,000 equity that day → daily breach

6% Trailing Max Drawdown

  • Trailing max DD = 6% below your highest equity reached

  • At any moment: Max floor = High-Water Mark (HWM) × (1 − 0.06)

At the start (HWM = $100,000):

  • Max floor: $100,000 × 0.94 = $94,000
