FundedHero Futures uses an End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown system. Your drawdown only moves up after a profitable day closes it doesn’t adjust during live trades, giving you more breathing room intraday.
To see the exact max drawdown for your account type, check the challenge-specific rules before you start. Each model has its own limits.
Here’s how the End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown works using a $10K FundedHero Futures account with a $500 trailing drawdown:
Scenario 1 – You Profit Consistently
Day 1: Start at $10,000. Drawdown is $9,500.
End the day at $10,200 → drawdown moves to $9,700.
Day 2: Close at $10,400 → drawdown moves to $9,900.
Day 3: Close at $10,600 → drawdown moves to $10,100.
If your end-of-day balance ever drops to $10,100 or lower now, your account breaches.
Scenario 2 – You Float Up but Don’t Close Higher
Day 1: Start at $10,000 → end at $10,300 → drawdown moves to $9,800.
Day 2: Float to $10,600 intraday but close at $10,300 again → drawdown stays at $9,800.
Intraday profits don’t matter — only what you close at affects the drawdown.
Scenario 3 – You Take a Loss
Day 1: Start at $10,000 → end at $10,100 → drawdown moves to $9,600.
Day 2: You take a losing day and close at $9,800 → drawdown stays at $9,600.
Day 3: Close at $9,700 → still above the drawdown, so you're safe.
Key Rule: You’re only at risk if your end-of-day balance falls to or below your trailing drawdown level. Intraday drawdown doesn’t count.
Note: Check your challenge-specific rules to see the exact max drawdown amount for your account. Each model is different.
