Prop Firms with Trailing Drawdown Explained
Trailing drawdown moves upward as your account balance or floating equity increases. Once the loss floor reaches your initial starting balance, certain firms lock it in, while others trail indefinitely.

Mathematical Definition & Calculation
Trailing drawdown is common in futures prop firms and 1-step challenges because it allows firms to offer cheaper evaluations while increasing the mathematical probability of a breach during deep market retracements.
Trailing Floor = Peak Reached Equity - Max Loss Allowance. On a $100k account with a 6% trailing drawdown ($6k loss floor at $94k), reaching $104k moves your breach floor up to $98k.
Hidden Trap / What to Watch For
Beware of intraday equity trailing vs End-of-Day (EOD) trailing! Intraday trailing ratchets up on open unrealized ticks, penalizing you even if you hold through normal pullback before closing in profit.
