The Overall Drawdown Limit for the Instant Funding Pro Account is 3%.

Key Points to Understand:

Trailing Overall Drawdown: The Overall Drawdown is calculated based on your account’s Highest Balance (Maximum Balance Watermark) and does not reset daily at 5 PM EST. It consistently remains at 3% of the peak balance and is always trailing.

Example 1:

Start of Day 1:

Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000


Initial Overall Drawdown: 3% of $100,000, which means the stop-out limit is set at $97,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

During Day 1:

New Balance: $103,000


Overall Drawdown: $103,000- $3,000 = $100,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

Day 2:

Starting Balance/Equity: $101,000
Allowed Overall Drawdown: The stop-out limit remains at $100,000 as it is based on the highest balance of $103,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.
