How does the Max Drawdown work?
The maximum drawdown (Max DD) is "TRAILING" and calculated based on the peak equity including unrealized trades:
Example:
- Initial balance: $50,000
- Max trailing drawdown: $2,000
- Failure threshold: $48,000
- If the balance rises to $51,000, the new failure threshold is $49,000
Note:
- Peak equity updates including unrealized P&L
- If you breach your max drawdown with an open trade, your account will be automatically terminated
