Es ist eine der wichtigsten Regeln f\u00fcr jedes Prop-Firm-Modell, da es die Grenze zwischen dem Verbleib im Programm und der Eliminierung setzt. Der Drawdown wird kontinuierlich von einem Referenzpunkt aus gemessen, entweder dem Startguthaben oder dem h\u00f6chsten Guthaben, das das Konto erreicht hat, und die Regel wird automatisch durch die Risiko-Engine der Plattform durchgesetzt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Die zwei h\u00e4ufigsten Drawdown-Strukturen sind statisch und trailing. Statischer Drawdown wird gegen das Startguthaben berechnet und \u00e4ndert sich nicht, wenn das Konto w\u00e4chst. Ein $5.000-Limit auf einem $100.000-Konto bleibt bei $95.000 als Bruchpunkt, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, wie viel der Trader verdient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trailing Drawdown bewegt sich mit Gewinnen nach oben, sichert Gewinne, versch\u00e4rft aber die verf\u00fcgbare Verlusttoleranz.

Static drawdown is measured against the starting balance. Trailing drawdown moves up with profits.   Understanding which method a firm uses and how daily loss limits interact with it is the most important step before purchasing a challenge.","faq":"<b>What is the difference between static and trailing drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Static drawdown is measured against the starting balance of the account and does not change as the account grows. Trailing drawdown moves up with profits, which means the breach point tightens each time the account reaches a new high. Trailing drawdown is more restrictive in practice, especially during the funded stage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Does open profit or loss count toward max drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the firm. Some calculate drawdown against the account balance only, meaning open positions do not pull the account toward the breach point until they are closed. Others calculate it against equity, which includes unrealized profit and loss in real time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>What happens when an account breaches max drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge fails, or the funded account closes, depending on which stage the account is in. Some firms allow the trader to reset for a reduced fee. Others require a full repurchase. The specific consequence depends on the firm and the rule that was breached.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
