How does your Static Max Drawdown work on CFDs Prime?
The Max Drawdown (Static) is a fixed loss limit that is set based on your initial account balance and does not change over time, regardless of your trading performance. This means that your maximum allowed loss remains constant from the moment your account is created.
Where does this apply?
-
This rule applies to accounts purchased before April 29, 2026
How does it work?
-
Your Max Drawdown is calculated as a fixed percentage of your starting balance
-
This limit does not trail or adjust, even if your account balance increases
-
If your account equity falls below this fixed threshold at any time, the account will be breached
Example
-
Starting Balance: $100,000
-
Max Drawdown: 10% → Drawdown limit: $90,000
Scenario:
-
Your balance increases to $110,000 → Drawdown limit remains $90,000
-
Your balance increases to $120,000 → Drawdown limit still remains $90,000
The drawdown level never moves, regardless of profits made
Key Points
-
The drawdown is fixed (static) from the start
