What is Maximum Drawdown on FunderPro Futures?
The Maximum Drawdown rule defines the maximum loss allowed during the lifetime of your account.
This drawdown is dynamic:
It recalculates daily based on your End of Day (EOD) Balance at 16:00 CT
It keeps trailing upward until it reaches your initial starting balance
Once it hits your starting balance, it locks and no longer moves
If your equity drops below this Max Drawdown limit at any time, your positions are closed and the account is considered failed.
Maximum Drawdown Limits by Challenge Type
50K Challenge: $2,000
100K Challenge: $3,000
150K Challenge: $4,500
200K Challenge: $6,000
You can always track your real-time Max Drawdown level in your Dashboard.
Example
You start a 100K Challenge. Your Max Drawdown begins at $97,000 ($100,000 – $3,000).
At EOD, your balance is $102,000.
→ The system updates your Max Drawdown to $99,000 ($102,000 – $3,000)
Next day, your balance hits $104,000.
→ Since your Max Drawdown limit would become $101,000, which exceeds your starting balance, the system freezes it at $100,000.
Now, you have a $4,000 buffer between your current equity and your Max Drawdown limit.
Important Notes
The Max Drawdown only moves upward — it never decreases
If your Max Drawdown is locked at your starting balance and you withdraw all profits, your equity may fall below the limit, causing your account to fail
Be cautious when withdrawing large amounts — even a small trade fee can breach the Max Drawdown if you're too close to the threshold
This rule is designed to encourage steady growth, while still allowing you to build a cushion with your profits.
