▶Funded Trading Plus Trailing vs Static Drawdown Explained — 51s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
1-Step Express and Instant use a 6% RELATIVE trailing drawdown tracked off your highest CLOSED balance (high-water-mark) — it rises with balance and locks at the starting balance once you're in profit. 2-Step Classic uses an 8% STATIC floor fixed at account start.
The gotcha
Withdrawals do NOT lower the high-water-mark, so taking a payout never loosens the trailing floor.
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
