Definition
Static drawdown is a fixed maximum loss threshold that does not trail upward with account gains.
Why it matters in comparisons
Static drawdown can be easier to map, but it still needs strict risk planning. FundedFinder treats this as comparison research only, not a recommendation to buy a challenge or place a trade.
Example scenario
A fixed $2,000 total loss limit remains the same even after the account makes progress. The exact numbers and conditions can vary by provider, account size, market and challenge type.
What to verify
- Confirm the exact threshold.
- Check whether daily loss still applies.
- Track remaining buffer after losses.
- Verify whether the fixed level changes after funding.
Verification note
Payout timing, profit split, consistency rules, and verification requirements should always be checked on the official provider site.
FundedFinder is informational only. Glossary pages explain terms and rule concepts; they do not recommend buying a challenge or placing a trade.
