A loss floor that stays put.

Static drawdown is easier to plan because profitable days do not move the maximum-loss floor. Daily loss and payout rules can still make the programme hard.

HOW TO USE THIS LIST

A category is a filter. It is not a verdict.

Confirm that static applies to the programme you are buying, not just another product from the same firm.
Check whether a payout or account event can move the loss floor later.
Pair maximum loss with the separate daily loss calculation.
Ignore the headline account size and model the real cash distance to breach.

THE NON-NEGOTIABLE

Read the formula, not the badge.

Static describes the maximum-loss calculation only. It says nothing about the daily limit, consistency test or payout review. Recheck the source before paying because evaluation firms change rules faster than conventional brokers.

FAQ

Questions this filter does not answer on its own.

What is static drawdown?+

A static maximum loss stays fixed against the initial account balance. Profitable days do not pull the loss floor upward.

Is static drawdown safer than trailing drawdown?+

It is easier to calculate and usually leaves more room after profitable days. It does not make leverage safe or remove the separate daily loss limit.

Does FTMO have static drawdown?+

FTMO 2-Step has a static 10% maximum loss. FTMO 1-Step does not; its maximum loss trails the highest end-of-day balance.

Does Topstep have static drawdown?+

Topstep's main Trading Combine uses a trailing Maximum Loss Limit. Topstep Labs has tested a limited static-drawdown account, but limited inventory is not treated as a standard programme in this shortlist.
