At Vantir, every trader deserves a balance between freedom and protection. That’s where Smart Drawdown comes in — a dynamic safeguard designed to protect your capital without limiting your potential.
Unlike traditional trailing or fixed drawdowns, Smart Drawdown adjusts intelligently with your performance. It starts by following your equity like a trailing system, and once you’ve proven steady profits, it locks into place — giving you the confidence to scale further with stability.
The Concept
Starts as a 6% trailing drawdown from your initial balance.
As you grow your equity, the drawdown trails upward, maintaining a gap based on your profits.
Once your equity reaches 3% above your starting balance, the system locks the drawdown permanently.
From that point, it becomes fixed — no more trailing, regardless of future profits or withdrawals.
This means you’re protected during early growth and fully secure once you’ve established consistent results.
Account Type Using Smart Drawdown
Account Type | Smart Drawdown |
Instant Funded | 6% |
Example — $25,000 Instant Funded Account
Starting Balance: $25,000
Initial Smart Drawdown (6%): $1,500
Initial Drawdown Limit: $23,500
Scenario 1:
You make a 2% unrealised profit ($500).
New Equity: $25,500
Smart Drawdown adjusts to 4% (6% – 2%)
New Drawdown Limit: $24,000
Scenario 2:
You reach a 3% profit ($750).
New Equity: $25,750
Drawdown locks permanently at 3% ($750)
Fixed Drawdown Limit: $24,250
From this point on, the drawdown no longer trails. Even if you grow to $30,000 or withdraw profits, your protected level remains $24,250.
Example — $50,000 Instant Funded Account
Starting Balance: $50,000
Initial Smart Drawdown (6%): $3,000
Initial Drawdown Limit: $47,000
Scenario 1:
You gain 2.5% ($1,250).
New Equity: $51,250
Smart Drawdown adjusts to 3.5% ($1,750)
New Drawdown Limit: $48,250
Scenario 2:
You reach a 3% profit ($1,500).
Drawdown locks permanently at 3% ($1,500)
Fixed Drawdown Limit: $48,500
From that point forward, no matter how much your equity grows, your loss limit stays fixed — giving you a solid foundation for scaling.
