Drawdown Type Trailing (dynamic drawdown calculated from the highest equity reached) Fixed (daily 4–5 % and overall 6–11 % of starting balance) Drawdown ModelFunding Pips combines a trailing drawdown on its Zero model with static max loss rules on other accounts.Key Points:Zero accounts use a 5% trailing drawdown plus a 1% floating loss cap once funded.One Step, Two Step Standard, and Two Step Pro use fixed overall loss limits (6% or 10%) relative to starting balance.Drawdown calculations include both closed and open positions.Risk rules can become stricter after funding than during evaluation, so traders must adapt once funded.This structure creates tight but clearly defined loss thresholds, especially on the Zero and Pro models.
