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.

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
