At Vantir, maintaining account integrity and protecting trading capital is one of our highest priorities.
The Absolute Drawdown, also known as Static Drawdown, is a fixed loss limit that is measured from your initial account balance.
Unlike a trailing drawdown, the absolute drawdown does not move up as your balance increases it remains static at the original starting balance throughout the account’s lifetime.
How Absolute / Static Drawdown Works
Absolute drawdown ensures that your total loss never exceeds a predefined percentage of your starting balance.
If your account balance or equity falls to this fixed limit, your account will be considered in breach, resulting in disqualification.
Accounts Using Absolute / Static Drawdown
Account Type | Absolute / Static Drawdown |
One-Phase Evaluation | 6% |
Two-Phase Evaluation | 10% |
Example
Let’s assume you have a Two-Phase Evaluation Account with a starting balance of $50,000, and your absolute drawdown limit is 10%.
10% of $50,000 = $5,000
If your account balance drops to $45,000 at any time, you have reached the absolute drawdown limit.
Any trade that pushes your balance below this level will result in an account breach and termination.
Why It Matters
Staying within your absolute drawdown limit ensures your trading remains controlled, disciplined, and sustainable.
Following this rule helps you build the mindset required for long-term consistency and success as a funded trader.
