Trailing vs static drawdown which one suits you?

A static drawdown is a fixed floor: on a $100K account with an 8% static limit, equity may never fall below $92,000. A trailing drawdown follows your highest balance upwards: with a 6% trailing limit, a peak of $104,000 moves the floor to $98,000. Static is more forgiving; trailing rewards traders who protect their profits.

Static drawdown, step by step

On a $100K 2-Step account the maximum loss is 8% static: the floor is $92,000 and never moves. If you are up $6,000, you have $14,000 of room before the floor. This makes the 2-Step more forgiving for traders who let winners run and accept bigger swings.

Trailing drawdown, step by step

On a $100K 1-Step account the maximum loss is 6% trailing: the floor starts at $94,000 and rises with your highest balance, up to the initial $100,000 where it stops. After a peak of $103,000 the floor is $97,000; after a peak of $106,000 it is locked at $100,000.

The practical effect: giving back profits costs you room. Traders who scale out and protect gains do well with trailing limits.

Which one should you choose?

Pick the drawdown that matches your behaviour:

  • Static (2-Step): you hold through pullbacks, trade swing setups or are new to prop firms.
  • Trailing (1-Step): you take partial profits, trade intraday and want a single, faster evaluation.
  • Futures: intraday trailing drawdown with contract limits, the standard in futures prop trading.

Frequently asked questions

Is static or trailing drawdown easier?

Static is usually easier because the floor never moves. Trailing is tighter after you make profit.

Does the trailing drawdown stop moving?

Yes. At Axora Funded it stops rising once it reaches the initial balance.

Is the drawdown based on balance or equity?

It is checked on equity, including open profit and loss, in real time.

Where can I see my exact limit?

Your dashboard shows the current daily and maximum loss levels live.

Is the capital real?

All accounts are demo accounts with virtual funds that run in a simulated trading environment. Rewards are paid in USDT or USDC based on your simulated performance, according to our terms.
