Frequently asked
How many losing trades should an evaluation survive?
Aim for at least four consecutive losses inside the daily loss limit and at least ten before the maximum drawdown. If your risk per trade does not clear that, it is too large for the rules.
Does the daily loss limit include open positions?
On most firms, yes. The limit is measured on equity, so an open floating loss can breach it before you close anything.
What is the difference between trailing and static drawdown?
A static drawdown is a fixed floor below your starting balance. A trailing drawdown follows your high-water mark upward, so profitable days move the floor up and shrink your buffer.
