Static drawdown means your maximum loss limit is fixed from your starting balance and does not move as your account grows. As you earn profits, your buffer above the drawdown floor increases, giving more room to absorb losses. This is generally considered more forgiving than trailing drawdown.

Static drawdown means your maximum loss limit is calculated from your starting balance and stays fixed regardless of how much profit you earn. If your starting balance is $100,000 with a 10% maximum drawdown, your drawdown floor is always $90,000, even if your account grows to $110,000.
A firm appears on this page if it offers at least one active challenge where the overall drawdown type is set to 'static.' Challenges with trailing or trailing-at-threshold drawdown are counted separately. Challenges where the overall drawdown type is unspecified appear as unknown.
Static drawdown gives traders a fixed safety net. As you build profits, your buffer above the drawdown floor grows, making it progressively harder to violate. This benefits traders who build small, consistent gains and want to protect their earned cushion.
Even with static drawdown, daily drawdown limits still apply and may use a different calculation method. A firm with static overall drawdown may still use equity-based or trailing daily drawdown. Always check both daily and overall drawdown rules.
