What are the drawdown limits?

Your account is protected by strict daily and overall drawdown limits that must not be exceeded.

Daily Drawdown: 4% trailing.

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

Maximum Loss: 6% trailing.

Trailing drawdown moves upward as your account balance increases.

Example: On a $100,000 prop firm account (4% daily drawdown, 6% trailing max drawdown)

(Assume max drawdown trails your highest equity (high-water mark).)

4% Daily Drawdown

  • 4% of $100,000 = $4,000

  • If you start the day at $100,000, your daily floor is:

  • $100,000 − $4,000 = $96,000

  • If equity drops below $96,000 that day → daily breach

6% Trailing Max Drawdown

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

  • Max floor = High-Water Mark (HWM) × 0.94

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

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