Max DD is the largest total drawdown allowed before account failure. A 10% ceiling means losing 10% of starting capital ends the evaluation or live account.
DD Type matters more than the headline number. Trailing drawdowns ratchet up after winning streaks, silently raising your floor. Static drawdowns measure only from the starting balance and are typically more survivable.
Scalpers and high-frequency strategies usually struggle most with daily loss limits. Swing traders are more sensitive to trailing drawdown. Slow strategies prefer firms with no time limits and static drawdown.
Click any firm name above to load its specific rules into the survival calculator and see your strategy's ruin probability against that firm's ceiling.
Pick a firm, plug in your win rate and risk per trade, and see whether your strategy survives its drawdown rules before paying the evaluation fee.
