A dynamic loss limit that moves up as a trader's equity increases, locking in gains. The trailing drawdown stops adjusting when it reaches a defined threshold of your initial balance and serves as the maximum allowable loss from that point onward. A 5% trailing stop follows your account balance until you achieve 5% profits. Once your account hits a 5% profit, the maximum trailing drawdown locks in at your starting capital and no longer follows your account’s changes. Example 1: If you start with a $10,000 account, your maximum drawdown will be 5%, which is $500. The account equity should not fall below $9,500 at any time. Example 2: If your account balance grows to $10,400, your max drawdown will now be $10,400 - $500 = $9,900. The account should not drop below $9,900 at any point. Example 3: If your account balance reaches $11,500, your maximum trailing drawdown will be locked at $10,000. Your account should never fall below $10,000 in equity or balance.
