Explaining the Drawdown Limits for Each Account Type at FTUK

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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
