What is the maximum drawdown at The5%ers?
Last verified: 2026-03-21 | Official rules
The5%ers has a maximum drawdown of 4% using static (floor never moves).
Static drawdown means your breach level is set when the account opens and never moves up. On a $20,000 account with $800 max drawdown, your floor is always $19,200. If you grow the account to $22,000, your floor stays at $19,200 -- giving you $2,800 of total room. This is the most trader-friendly drawdown type.
Drawdown by phase:
- -Phase 1: 4% (static (floor never moves))
- -Funded: 4% (static (floor never moves))
Drawdown by account size:
- -$20,000: $800 max drawdown (floor at $19,200)
- -$60,000: $2,400 max drawdown (floor at $57,600)
- -$100,000: $4,000 max drawdown (floor at $96,000)
Daily loss limit: 4% acts as a separate circuit breaker. On the $20,000 account, you cannot lose more than $800 in a single day. Hitting the daily limit does not reset the next day -- your overall drawdown still counts.
