QT Funded: Maximum drawdown (plan-specific)
▶QT Funded Maximum Drawdown Rule: 10%, 8%, or 6%? — 50s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
QT PRIME: 10% static, based on the initial balance (does not trail). QT POWER: 8% static/balance-based. QT INSTANT: 6% trailing from the highest recorded balance or floating equity. The newer entry 'QT 2 Step' product uses a 6% max — which is why some sources mistakenly report PRIME as 6%.
The gotcha
The same 'PRIME' name has shipped with different numbers across vintages — confirm the max-DD on the exact product card you buy.
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.
The numbers
| prime | 10% STATIC |
| power | 8% STATIC |
| instant | 6% TRAILING |
