Balance Drawdown

The drawdown limit moves up with your profits. Once your balance reaches a new high, the drawdown level rises and never falls back down.

Harder to manage - locks in profits as risk

Punishes aggressive profit-taking

Often cheaper evaluation fees

The drawdown limit stays fixed at your starting balance. Your profits build a buffer above the limit, giving you more room to trade.

Easier to manage - profits build buffer

Better for beginners

Often higher evaluation fees
