The Maximum Loss Limit (MLL), also known as the EOD trailing drawdown, is the maximum amount your account can lose overall. It applies during both the evaluation and the funded phase and is calculated on an end-of-day (EOD) basis.
Limits per account
Account size | Evaluation drawdown | Funded drawdown |
$25,000 | $1,000 (4.00%) | $1,000 (4.00%) |
$50,000 | $2,000 (4.00%) | $2,000 (4.00%) |
$100,000 | $3,000 (3.00%) | $3,000 (3.00%) |
$150,000 | $4,000 (~2.67%) | $3,500 (~2.33%) |
How the trailing works
The drawdown is calculated based on your end-of-day (EOD) balance.
It trails upward as your account reaches new highs.
It does not move down if your balance decreases.
Example ($50,000 account): starting balance $50,000, max drawdown $2,000, so the initial minimum balance is $48,000. If your account closes the day at $52,000, the new trailing level is $50,000.
Drawdown lock level
Once your account reaches a certain level, the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven + $100:
Account size | Lock level |
$25,000 | $25,100 |
$50,000 | $50,100 |
$100,000 | $100,100 |
$150,000 | $150,100 |
After this point the drawdown no longer trails upward, and your account cannot fall below this locked level.
Important rules
Calculated using the end-of-day balance only.
Intraday drops below the level do not count, unless the day closes below it.
Applies to both evaluation and funded accounts.
Includes both realized and unrealized performance at close.
Hard breach: if your account closes below the allowed drawdown level, the account is terminated and becomes ineligible for funding or payouts.
