Security & compliance
What is Max Loss (overall drawdown) and is it static or trailing?
TL;DR
PropXP Max Loss is static (fixed), anchored to your starting balance, and it’s equity-based (floating + costs count). It does not trail up.
How it works
- Static max loss means your breach line is fixed from day one:
- Breach line = starting balance − (Max Loss % × starting balance)**.
- It’s checked on equity, so open positions and fees count.
- If your equity prints below the threshold, that’s a hard breach.
Common gotchas
- “Trailing drawdown” firms move the line up as you profit. PropXP doesn’t. Static means: the floor stays put.
- A big floating loss can breach you even if you’re “up overall” on closed trades. Equity is the judge.
- Overnight swap/fees can chip equity (especially if you’re holding).
- Static drawdown sometimes gives the impression that you have a lot of room and punishes revenge trading.
Values table per account type
| Program | Max Loss | Type | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-Phase (Challenge) | 10% | Static | Equity (floating included) |
| One-Phase (Challenge) | 6% | Static | Equity (floating included) |
| Instant Funding | 6% | Static | Equity (floating included) |
| Funded | Same risk profile as the program you qualified through (2-Step: 10%, 1-Step: 6%) | Static | Equity (floating included) |
Example
Starting balance $50,000:
- Two-Phase max loss 10% → breach line $45,000.
- One-Phase/Instant Funding max loss 6% → breach line $47,000.
