Static or trailing: the drawdown rule that ends most accountsStatic atau trailing: aturan drawdown yang paling sering menggagalkan akun

The limit moves, or it does not

A static maximum loss is measured from your starting balance and never moves. On a $100,000 account with a 6% static limit, the account fails at $94,000 whatever happens in between. Reach $110,000 and the floor is still $94,000, so the profit you built is genuine room.

A trailing limit is measured from the highest point the account has reached. On the same account, reaching $110,000 lifts the floor to $103,400. Give back a normal drawdown after a good run and the account fails while still showing a profit. This is the single most common way funded accounts are lost, and it is not a rule most traders read closely before paying.

Of the 835 plans recorded here, 452 use a static maximum loss and 383 use some form of trailing.

Trailing is not one rule

Intraday trailing follows your floating equity, so an unrealised spike during a trade raises the floor even if you never closed at that price. End-of-day trailing only updates once the session closes, which is meaningfully more forgiving for anyone who lets trades breathe.

Some firms trail on balance and some on equity. Balance-based trailing ignores open positions; equity-based trailing does not. In our dataset the largest group, 455 plans, trails from the higher of balance or equity at end of day.

Daily loss is a separate limit

Almost every plan carries a daily loss limit alongside the maximum, most often 3% here. Breaching either one ends the account, and the daily limit usually resets at the firm's server time, not yours.

Check what the daily limit is measured against. Some firms reset it against the balance at the start of the day, others against the highest equity reached during it. The second is stricter and catches traders who give back an intraday gain.

What to confirm before you pay

Is the maximum loss static or trailing? If trailing, does it follow balance or equity, and does it update intraday or at end of day? What time does the daily limit reset? Does the limit stop trailing once you reach the funded stage?

Every firm page here lists the drawdown type per plan. Compare it against the price before deciding, because a cheap plan with intraday trailing can be the more expensive choice.

Batasnya bergerak, atau tidak

Max loss static diukur dari saldo awal dan tidak pernah bergerak. Pada akun $100.000 dengan batas static 6%, akun gagal di $94.000 apa pun yang terjadi di antaranya. Naik ke $110.000 pun lantainya tetap $94.000, jadi profit yang sudah dibangun benar-benar jadi ruang gerak.

Batas trailing diukur dari titik tertinggi yang pernah dicapai akun. Pada akun yang sama, mencapai $110.000 menaikkan lantai ke $103.400. Kasih balik drawdown normal setelah rangkaian profit, akun gagal padahal masih untung. Ini cara paling umum akun funded hilang, dan aturannya jarang dibaca teliti sebelum bayar.

Dari 835 paket yang tercatat di sini, 452 memakai max loss static dan 383 memakai bentuk trailing.

Trailing bukan satu aturan

Trailing intraday mengikuti equity berjalan, jadi lonjakan floating saat posisi terbuka sudah menaikkan lantai walau tidak pernah ditutup di harga itu. Trailing end-of-day baru memperbarui saat sesi tutup, dan itu jauh lebih longgar untuk yang membiarkan posisi berjalan.

Ada firm yang trailing dari balance, ada yang dari equity. Trailing berbasis balance mengabaikan posisi terbuka, berbasis equity tidak. Di data kami kelompok terbesar, 455 paket, trailing dari nilai tertinggi antara balance atau equity saat penutupan hari.

Loss harian adalah batas terpisah

Hampir semua paket punya batas kerugian harian di samping batas maksimum, paling sering 3% di sini. Melanggar salah satunya mengakhiri akun, dan batas harian biasanya direset mengikuti waktu server firm, bukan waktu Anda.

Periksa batas harian itu diukur terhadap apa. Sebagian firm mereset terhadap saldo awal hari, sebagian terhadap equity tertinggi hari itu. Yang kedua lebih ketat dan menjerat trader yang mengembalikan profit intraday.

Yang perlu dipastikan sebelum bayar

Max loss-nya static atau trailing? Kalau trailing, mengikuti balance atau equity, dan diperbarui intraday atau end of day? Jam berapa batas harian direset? Apakah trailing berhenti setelah masuk tahap funded?

Setiap halaman firm di sini mencantumkan jenis drawdown per paket. Bandingkan dengan harganya sebelum memutuskan, karena paket murah dengan trailing intraday bisa jadi pilihan yang lebih mahal.
