Important Technical FAQs
1. How Trailing Drawdown Works (The "Lock" Rule)
The Max Trailing Drawdown is 4%. It is based on the account balance and follows your account’s High Water Mark (the highest account balance reached).
Starting Step: On a $100,000 account, your initial breach level is $96,000.
The Lock: Once your account balance hits $104,000 or higher, the drawdown limit reaches $100,000 and locks there.
2. How Daily Drawdown Works
The Daily Loss Limit is 3%, resetting every day at 5 PM EST based on the previous day’s closing balance.
Example: Prior day’s balance was $100,000. You breach if equity falls to $97,000 at any point during the next day.
3. The 30% Consistency Rule
The 30% consistency rule only applies once you’re in a Funded (Live) account, not during the challenge. It means your biggest profit day cannot exceed 30% of your total profits.
If you don't meet the consistency rule, that does not mean you breach the account. You just can't request a payout on or after the payout date. Once you meet it, you can request a payout if the payout date has passed.
Example:
If your best day (the highest profit of any trading day) was $100, then your total profit must be at least $333.33 (since $100 is 30% of $333.33).
If your best day was $50, then your total profit must be at least $166.66.
In short, the bigger your best day, the more total profit you’ll need so your results look steady and consistent.
Profit Earned Scenario:
Day 1 - 100
Day 2 - 50
Day 3 - 60
Day 4 - 160 (Best Day)
Day 5 - 20
Total profit that you should earn is 160 divide 30%, which is $533.33. Currently, the total profit is $390.
If you keep your profit in check and earn less than 160 and gain another $143.33, then on the 14th trading day, you can request a payout.
Even if you gain more than 160 in a day after that, it should be fine—the total profit requirement will simply adjust upward.
4. Withdrawal Impact
Taking a payout affects your "buffer." Once you request the first payout, Trailing Max drawdown is locked to the initial account balance and no longer trails. By withdrawing the full amount of profit, no buffer is left; there would be no room for Max drawdown, which would result in an account breach on placing the first trade after withdrawal.
Scenario: You have a $100,000 account and grow it to $106,000. Your drawdown is locked at $100,000.
The Result: If you withdraw all $6,000 in profit, your balance returns to $100,000. Since your drawdown limit is also $100,000, you have $0 buffer remaining.
Pro Tip: Always leave a small "cushion" of profit in the account to ensure you can continue trading after a payout.
