How is overall drawdown calculated?

Q: What is “Overall Drawdown”?

A: Overall Drawdown refers to the maximum loss allowed from your starting balance or maximum equity peak, depending on the account type and broker. If your account equity ever drops beyond this limit, your account will be marked as failed.

Q: How is Overall Drawdown calculated at Funds.Pro?

A:

At Funds.Pro, we use a fixed drawdown model based on your initial account balance — not floating equity.

✅ Example:

• Account size: $10,000

• Maximum Overall Drawdown: 10%

• That means your account must never go below $9,000 in equity at any time (including open trades).

Q: Is drawdown based on balance or equity?

A: Drawdown is always calculated based on your real-time equity — which includes both your current balance and any running profits or losses.

If your equity dips below the drawdown threshold, even briefly due to floating losses, it will count as a violation.

Q: What’s the difference between Daily Drawdown and Overall Drawdown?

A:

• Daily Drawdown is the maximum loss allowed in a single day, based on the day’s starting equity.

• Overall Drawdown is the total allowable loss from your starting balance over the entire challenge or funded period.

Both rules are enforced independently — violating either one will result in account failure.

Q: Does hitting the overall drawdown immediately fail the account?

A: Yes. If your equity ever falls below the allowed drawdown level (even for a second), the account will be flagged as failed by the system, and trading will be disabled.

Q: Is overall drawdown calculated based on closed trades or floating losses?

A: It is calculated based on live equity, which includes both closed trades and open positions. Even if your open trade causes a temporary dip in equity below the threshold, it will trigger a violation.

Q: Where can I track my current drawdown?

A: You can monitor your real-time equity and drawdown directly on the web trading portal or your trading platform’s account summary section. Make sure to track both your closed and floating trades.
