No prop trading, a marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima mais comumente aparece em dois contextos: como o ponto de ancoragem para c\u00e1lculos de drawdown m\u00f3vel, e em algumas empresas como o limite acima do qual a participa\u00e7\u00e3o nos lucros futura \u00e9 paga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quando uma empresa usa drawdown m\u00f3vel, a marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima \u00e9 o saldo mais alto que a conta alcan\u00e7ou, e o limite de drawdown se move atr\u00e1s dela a uma dist\u00e2ncia fixa. Em uma conta de $100.000 com um drawdown m\u00f3vel de $5.000, se a conta crescer para $108.000, isso se torna a nova marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima e o limite de drawdown sobe para $103.000. Se a conta ent\u00e3o recuar para $104.000, nenhuma nova marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima \u00e9 definida. O limite permanece em $103.000 at\u00e9 que um novo m\u00e1ximo seja alcan\u00e7ado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Algumas empresas tamb\u00e9m aplicam uma marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima aos c\u00e1lculos de pagamento, particularmente em programas de escalonamento onde a participa\u00e7\u00e3o nos lucros adicional \u00e9 paga apenas sobre os ganhos acima do saldo m\u00e1ximo anterior. Isso impede que um trader seja pago duas vezes pelos mesmos lucros ap\u00f3s um drawdown e recupera\u00e7\u00e3o. Se a conta atingir $110.000, recuar para $100.000 e depois recuperar para $105.000, nenhum pagamento adicional \u00e9 acionado porque o saldo ainda est\u00e1 abaixo da marca d'\u00e1gua m\u00e1xima de $110.000. O pr\u00f3ximo pagamento ocorre quando a conta excede $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. This prevents duplicate payment on the same profits after a drawdown and recovery.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
