What is the maximum drawdown limit?

2-Step Challenge & Funded Accounts #

On this account, Upside Funding enforces a static 8% maximum drawdown to ensure traders have room to operate while maintaining disciplined risk management.

 

How It Works

 

• The maximum drawdown is fixed at 8% of your initial account balance.
• It does not trail, meaning as you grow your balance, your drawdown cushion remains stable.
• If your account balance falls 8% below the starting value, the account is breached.

 

How Is It Calculated?

 

• $100,000 funded account → Max drawdown limit: $8,000
• If your balance drops below $92,000, your account is in breach.
• Even if your balance grows to $120,000, the drawdown remains locked at $92,000, giving you more trading flexibility.

 

This structure eliminates the stress of trailing limits, allowing traders to focus on long-term growth and risk-adjusted trading rather than worrying about shifting thresholds.
