How do you calculate the Maximum Drawdown?

Updated over 2 months ago

The Maximum Drawdown is initially set at 6% and is static (using CLOSED BALANCE) and will therefore remain at the same value for as long as the account will remain active.

Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $94,000 before you would violate the Maximum Drawdown rule. Then for example let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, your Maximum Drawdown would remain locked at $94,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, your drawdown will remain the same (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown).
