All SizeProp evaluations use a static maximum drawdown, meaning your loss limit is fixed from the beginning.
Calculated as a percentage of your starting balance
Does not move as your balance increases
Not affected by profits or payouts
Enforced in real time using equity
If your equity touches or falls below the maximum drawdown limit, your account will be terminated.
Balance vs Equity
Balance = closed trades only
Equity = balance + open profit/loss
Drawdown levels are calculated using balance, but enforced using equity.
This means open trades are always taken into account.
Drawdown Percentages
Degen: 3%
1-Step: 5%
Example (1-Step Evaluation)
Starting balance: $100,000
Maximum drawdown: 5%
Maximum loss allowed: $5,000
If your equity reaches $95,000 at any time, the account is terminated.
Note: Funded accounts use the same maximum drawdown percentages as evaluations. For more details, see Maximum Drawdown (Funded Accounts).
