What is the maximum drawdown at SurgeTrader?
Last verified: 2024-05-01 | Official rules
SurgeTrader has a maximum drawdown of 8% using static (floor never moves).
Static drawdown means your breach level is set when the account opens and never moves up. On a $25,000 account with $2,000 max drawdown, your floor is always $23,000. If you grow the account to $27,000, your floor stays at $23,000 -- giving you $4,000 of total room. This is the most trader-friendly drawdown type.
Drawdown by phase:
- -Evaluation: 8% (static (floor never moves))
- -Funded: 8% (static (floor never moves))
Drawdown by account size:
- -$25,000: $2,000 max drawdown (floor at $23,000)
- -$50,000: $4,000 max drawdown (floor at $46,000)
- -$100,000: $8,000 max drawdown (floor at $92,000)
- -$250,000: $20,000 max drawdown (floor at $230,000)
Daily loss limit: 5% acts as a separate circuit breaker. On the $25,000 account, you cannot lose more than $1,250 in a single day. Hitting the daily limit does not reset the next day -- your overall drawdown still counts.
