Lark Funding: Maximum drawdown (static)
▶Lark Funding Static Drawdown Rule: Your Floor Never Moves — 42s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
The 1-Step drawdown is STATIC and does not trail — it's 7% of the initial balance, calculated off the initial balance (e.g., a $100k account that grows to $105k can still draw down to $93k). The 3-Step is 5% static. Instant uses an ~8% drawdown that locks/converts after your first withdrawal.
The gotcha
Because it's static, profit doesn't tighten your floor — but it also never gives you extra room as the balance grows.
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.
