Instant Pilot Account

Balance of safety + instant start

Updated this week

Instant Pilot (from 70% Profit Split)

βœ… For consistent traders ready to scale fast:

  • Start trading real capital immediatelyβ€”keep at least 70% of profits.

  • Daily drawdown: 3% (safer for steady growth).

  • Best for: Experienced traders who want instant funding + safety nets.


πŸ“‰ Max Drawdown (5%) - Trailing

Your Max Drawdown adjusts as your account balance grows, but it’s always based on your highest recorded balanceβ€”never exceeding your initial balance.

πŸ’‘How It Works

  1. Starting Point:

    • Initial Balance = $100,000

    • Max Drawdown = 5%

    • Threshold: $100,000 – 5% = $95,000

  2. If Your Balance Increases:

    • New Highest Balance = $110,000

    • New Threshold = $110,000 – 5% = $104,500

    • But: Your drawdown never exceeds the initial balance ($100,000).

    • Final Locked Threshold = $100,000

  3. If Your Balance Drops:

    • Highest Balance = $110,000 β†’ Later drops to $105,000

    • Threshold stays at $104,500 today (based on the highest recorded balance).

Benefits of Trailing Drawdown

βœ… Rewards Profits: Your drawdown buffer increases as you grow your account.
βœ… Safety Net: Even if profits dip, your worst-case loss is capped at 6% of peak balance.
βœ… No Sudden Breaches: Unlike fixed drawdown, trailing adjusts gradually with your performance.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your drawdown "floor" rises with profits but never exceeds the initial balance.

  • In the last row: A drop to $98K breaches the $100K initial cap β†’ Account fails.

  • Safety Tip: Always monitor your current equity vs. threshold!


πŸ“‰ Daily Drawdown (up to 3%) - Trailing

  • Your daily loss limit is 3% of the previous day’s closing balance (or equity, whichever is higher). If your equity drops below this threshold at any point during the day, it violates the rule.

How It’s Calculated:

  1. Record Yesterday’s Closing Balance/Equity

    • Example: Day 1 closes at $100,000.

  2. Calculate 3% of That Value

    • $100,000 Γ— 3% = $3,000 β†’ Daily loss limit.

  3. Set Today’s Threshold

    • $100,000 – $3,000 = **$97,000** β†’ Lowest allowed equity today.

  4. Check Real-Time Equity

    • If your equity hits $96,999 during the day β†’ Violation.

    • Note: Open trades count toward this!

πŸ”‘Key Rules:

  • Trailing Logic: The threshold resets daily based on the prior close.

  • Open Positions Count: Unrealized losses affect your equity in real-time.

  • Weekends/Holidays: No trading = no daily drawdown check.

Pro Tip: Use a stop-loss strategy to stay safely above the threshold!

βœ… Prevents Emotional Tilt: Hard stop on daily losses.
βœ… Adapts to Growth: Higher balances = larger $ buffers.
βœ… Clear Math: No surprises – always 3% of yesterday’s close.

Formula:

Consistency Ratio (CR) = (Largest Single Trade Profit Γ· Total Profit) Γ— 100

Example:

  • Total Profit = $5,000

  • Largest Trade Profit = $2,500

  • CR = ($2,500 Γ· $5,000) Γ— 100 = 50% β†’ Violation (Must be ≀40%)

πŸ’‘How to Fix It?

  • Continue trading until your largest trade is ≀40% of total profits.

  • Example: Earn $1,000 more β†’ New Total Profit = $6,000

    • CR = ($2,500 Γ· $6,000) Γ— 100 = 41.6% (Still high? Keep trading!)
