Allowed vs Prohibited Trading Strategies

In evaluation accounts, drawdown rules vary by plan:

  • Premier(1-Step) accounts use a Static Max Drawdown, meaning your loss limit is fixed and does not adjust with profits.

  • Elite(2-Step) accounts use an Intraday Trailing Drawdown based on realized gains, meaning your drawdown level can increase as you secure profits but is evaluated in real time during the day.

  • In Instant funded accounts, and End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown applies. This updates once per day based on your closing balance, rather than fluctuating intraday.

Your drawdown limits are tied to your account size and plan type; be sure to stay within these thresholds to maintain account eligibility and avoid breaches.
