▶Funding Traders Max Drawdown Rule: The Trailing Trap Explained — 43s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Pro plans use a fixed static max loss relative to the account size: 10% (1-Step Pro & PRO10), 6% (PRO6) — they do not trail. Instant Funded uses a 6% trailing drawdown that trails on equity/balance until you bank +3% profit, at which point it locks to the initial account size.
The gotcha
Instant's drawdown is the only trailing one — and most breaches happen during the trailing window before the +3% lock.
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.
