The Silent Account Killer
Drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline during a specific period for an investment. In prop trading, hitting your maximum drawdown limit results in immediate account termination. Understanding exactly how much capital you can lose before breaching is the most critical aspect of funded trading.
Static vs. Trailing vs. EOD
Not all drawdowns are calculated equally. A Static drawdown is based on your initial balance. An End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown locks in at the end of the trading day. A High-Water Mark trailing drawdown trails your highest open equity. Knowing which calculation your firm uses is vital.
