Why It Matters
Your drawdown type directly affects how you should manage risk throughout your account. Specifically, it determines:
Whether your Maximum Total Loss limit moves upward as your equity grows, or stays fixed from day one
How much buffer you have available for open positions at any given time
How your loss floor changes during periods of profitable trading
The level of risk you can realistically take at different points in your account lifecycle
A trailing drawdown tightens as you profit - your floor rises with your equity. A static drawdown stays fixed regardless of performance - your floor never moves.
Both structures require a clear understanding before you start trading. Misunderstanding your drawdown type is one of the most avoidable causes of unexpected breaches.
Before You Purchase
Make sure you fully understand the drawdown behaviour of the model you are considering before you buy. For a detailed explanation of how each drawdown type works in practice, see the Maximum Total Loss article and the relevant model page in the Models section of this Help Centre.
