What Are the Drawdown Limits?

Explaining the Drawdown Limits for Each Account Type at FTUK

Updated this week

The maximum drawdown, daily drawdown and drawdown type will vary depending on which program you are trading.


INSTANT FUNDING

  • The maximum drawdown at every stage of the instant funding program is 6%.

  • This is a RELATIVE DRAWDOWN based on your BALANCE.

EXAMPLE

If you are trading the 10K account, your account balance must not fall below $9,400.

If you reach an account balance of $10,250, your new minimum account balance would be $9,650.

If you then reach an account balance of $10,900 **, your new **minimum account balance would be $10,000.

Once your drawdown reaches 10K, it is then locked in place.

If you then have a loss of -$300 **, putting your balance at **$10,600, your minimum account balance would remain at $10,000.


ONE-STEP

  • The maximum drawdown for the One Step program including the evaluation phase is 8%.

  • This is a RELATIVE DRAWDOWN based on your BALANCE.

EXAMPLE

If you are trading the 10K account, your account balance must not fall below $9,200.

If you reach an account balance of $10,250, your new minimum account balance would be $9,450.

If you then reach an account balance of $10,900 **, your new **minimum account balance would be $10,000.

Once your drawdown reaches 10K, it is then locked in place.

If you then have a loss of -$300 **, putting your balance at **$10,600, your minimum account balance would remain at $10,000.


TWO-STEP

  • The maximum drawdown for the challenge phase is 8%.

  • The maximum drawdown for the verification phase is 8%

  • The maximum drawdown for levels 1 - 7 is 8%.
