How the Models Work

Three common maximum drawdown rules

Static Drawdown

The breach threshold remains at the same level even when the account reaches new highs.

Trailing to Initial Balance

The threshold follows the high-water mark until it reaches the starting balance, then locks there.

Continuous Trailing Drawdown

The threshold follows every new high-water mark and never stops at the starting balance.

Some prop firms calculate drawdown from balance, others from equity, end-of-day equity, or the intraday high-water mark. Enter values that match the firm's official rule.
