What kind of drawdown policy does FORFX apply?

💡 Answer

Drawdown Model

FORFX uses a static drawdown model where the maximum loss is measured from the initial starting balance rather than trailing from highest equity.

Key Points:

All challenge types use static (balance-based) drawdown for overall maximum loss.
Daily drawdown resets at 5:00 PM EST based on end-of-day account balance.
Aggressive variants have relaxed drawdown limits during evaluation (10% daily / 20% max) but revert to standard limits (5% daily / 10% max) once funded.
Drawdown calculations include both open and closed positions.

The static model means profits are locked in and do not increase your drawdown buffer, which benefits consistent traders.
