At Top One Futures, we implement a drawdown lock to help traders protect their profits as they progress in their sim funded accounts. This feature allows traders to build their account without worrying about their drawdown continuing to trail indefinitely, providing more stability and security as they withdraw funds.
When Does My Drawdown Lock Based on Profits Achieved?
Once you reach the amount of your total drawdown in profits plus $100, the drawdown locks in at your starting balance and no longer trails with your account growth.
Instant Sim Funded Examples:
On a 25K account, your max drawdown is $1,000. Once your balance reaches $26,100, the drawdown locks at $25,100 and no longer trails.
On a 50K account, your max drawdown is $2,000. Once your balance reaches $52,100, the drawdown locks at $50,100 and no longer trails.
On a 100K account, your max drawdown is $4,000. Once your balance reaches $104,100, the drawdown locks at $100,100.
On a 150K account, your max drawdown is $6,000. Once your balance reaches $156,100, the drawdown locks at $150,100.

Lock Upon Payout
Upon trader's first payout, your maximum trailing drawdown will also lock in at the starting balance +$100. From the moment you make a payout, the drawdown no longer trails with your account growth, regardless of how much you continue to grow your account.
