FunderPro: Maximum (overall) drawdown
▶FunderPro Maximum Drawdown Rule: Classic vs Instant Funded Explained — 49s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Your account has a hard floor. On Classic and Pro it's 10% of the starting balance; on One Phase and Instant it's 6%. It is BALANCE-based — measured on closed-trade balance, not floating equity — except Instant Funded, where the 6% is a TRAILING drawdown that ratchets up with your profits until it locks at your initial starting balance.
The gotcha
On Instant Funded the drawdown trails your gains, so banking profit raises your stop-out level — a pullback that would've been fine on day one can breach you later. On the others it's balance-based, so a deep floating loss that you DON'T close won't breach max drawdown (but can still hit the daily limit).
What happens if you break it
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.
