En el trading de propiedad, la marca de agua alta aparece m\u00e1s com\u00fanmente en dos contextos: como el punto de anclaje para los c\u00e1lculos de reducci\u00f3n din\u00e1mica, y en algunas empresas como el umbral por encima del cual se paga la participaci\u00f3n en las ganancias futuras.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuando una empresa utiliza una reducci\u00f3n din\u00e1mica, la marca de agua alta es el saldo m\u00e1s alto que la cuenta ha alcanzado, y el l\u00edmite de reducci\u00f3n se mueve detr\u00e1s de ella a una distancia fija. En una cuenta de $100,000 con una reducci\u00f3n din\u00e1mica de $5,000, si la cuenta crece a $108,000, eso se convierte en la nueva marca de agua alta y el umbral de reducci\u00f3n sube a $103,000. Si la cuenta luego retrocede a $104,000, no se establece una nueva marca de agua alta. El umbral permanece en $103,000 hasta que se alcanza un nuevo m\u00e1ximo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Algunas empresas tambi\u00e9n aplican una marca de agua alta a los c\u00e1lculos de pago, particularmente en programas de escalado donde la participaci\u00f3n adicional en las ganancias se paga solo sobre las ganancias por encima del saldo m\u00e1ximo anterior. Esto evita que un trader reciba un pago doble por las mismas ganancias despu\u00e9s de una reducci\u00f3n y recuperaci\u00f3n. Si la cuenta alcanza $110,000, retrocede a $100,000 y luego se recupera a $105,000, no se activa ning\u00fan pago adicional porque el saldo a\u00fan est\u00e1 por debajo de la marca de agua alta de $110,000. El pr\u00f3ximo pago se produce cuando la cuenta supera los $110,000.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"glossary-category":[131],"class_list":["post-6395","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary-category-trader-glossary"],"acf":{"target_keyword":"high water mark","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"A high water mark is the peak account balance a funded trader has reached. In prop trading, it functions as the anchor point for trailing drawdown calculations and, at some firms, as the threshold above which future profit share is paid. ","faq":"<b>What is a high water mark in trailing drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The high water mark is the highest balance the account has reached. On a trailing drawdown structure, the drawdown limit trails behind the high water mark at a fixed distance. Each time the account reaches a new peak, the drawdown threshold moves up with it, but never resets downward if the account draws back.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Does the high water mark ever reset?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not while the account is active on the same plan. The high water mark is set at the first peak the account reaches and only moves upward from there. On some plans, the high water mark can lock at a specific threshold, at which point the trailing behavior converts to static.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>How does the high water mark affect payouts?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At firms that apply it to payouts, additional profit share is only paid on balances above the previous high water mark.
