Dans le trading propri\u00e9taire, le plus haut niveau atteint appara\u00eet le plus souvent dans deux contextes : comme point d'ancrage pour les calculs de drawdown glissant, et, chez certaines entreprises, comme seuil au-del\u00e0 duquel la part de profit future est vers\u00e9e.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lorsqu'une entreprise utilise un drawdown glissant, le plus haut niveau atteint est le solde le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que le compte a atteint, et la limite de drawdown le suit \u00e0 une distance fixe. Sur un compte de $100,000 avec un drawdown glissant de $5,000, si le compte atteint $108,000, cela devient le nouveau plus haut niveau atteint et le seuil de drawdown monte \u00e0 $103,000. Si le compte redescend ensuite \u00e0 $104,000, aucun nouveau plus haut niveau atteint n'est d\u00e9fini. Le seuil reste \u00e0 $103,000 jusqu'\u00e0 ce qu'un nouveau plus haut soit atteint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certaines entreprises appliquent \u00e9galement un plus haut niveau atteint aux calculs de paiement, en particulier sur les programmes de mise \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle o\u00f9 une part de profit suppl\u00e9mentaire n'est vers\u00e9e que sur les gains sup\u00e9rieurs au solde maximal pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Cela emp\u00eache un trader d'\u00eatre pay\u00e9 deux fois sur les m\u00eames profits apr\u00e8s un drawdown et une r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration.

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.
