Drawdown moves only on CLOSED profit and loss — floating/open losses never breach you. The 1-Step uses a 5% trailing line that stops moving once it reaches your starting balance (then it's effectively static at breakeven). The 2-Step uses a fixed 10% static max; Instant uses a 6% static max.
The gotcha
Because it's balance-based, you can be deep in floating loss intraday without breaching — but a single closed losing trade can move the line past the floor.
