How it works:
Your maximum drawdown is fixed against your initial account capital. It does not move or trail as your balance grows. Both closed trades and floating losses count toward it.
Limits by account type:
1-Step Challenge: 8%
2-Step Challenge: 10%
Instant Funding: 7%
Instant Funding Lite: 14%
Finotive Pro (1-Step): 8%
Finotive Pro (2-Step): 10%
Why we have it: To prevent accounts from reaching zero and to encourage responsible long-term trading.
Benefits for you:
Provides a clear safety net that never changes, so you always know your limits.
Protects you from unrecoverable losses during drawdown periods.
Encourages steady growth instead of high-risk “all-in” strategies.
Gives you the space to recover from losing streaks and reach scaling milestones.
What happens if I breach this rule?
Breaching the maximum drawdown is a hard breach. The account will be closed, as exceeding the overall limit means the account cannot be recovered.
