Calculator · Funded accountsDrawdown calculator for funded accounts
How much you can lose today, and in total, before breaking your prop firm's rules.
How it's calculated
Daily loss: today's minimum = balance at start of day − (starting balance × daily %)
Static maximum: minimum = starting balance × (1 − maximum %)
Trailing maximum: minimum = highest equity − (starting balance × maximum %)
Static drawdown doesn't move. Trailing rises when you make money and doesn't come down; at many prop firms the minimum level stops rising once it reaches the starting balance.
Each prop firm sets these rules its own way (balance or equity, daily reset time, when trailing locks). Check your firm's conditions.
Frequently asked questions
What is drawdown in trading?
The drop from a peak in your account to a low, in money or in %.
What's the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
Static has a fixed limit from the starting balance; trailing rises with your peak equity and leaves you less room as you make money.
Does the daily limit include open trades?
At many prop firms, yes: it's measured on equity, including floating losses. Check your rules.
How do I keep track of this on every trade?
Fibonacci records your trades and shows you the drawdown of each account, funded or personal.
Measure every trade for real.
With Fibonacci, the risk, R:R and drawdown of each account are calculated automatically from your real trades. Connect MT4, MT5 or cTrader in read-only mode.
