Get Leveraged Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
Get Leveraged runs both drawdown types depending on the program. The Sprint Program (1%) and the Junior, Senior and Executive Portfolio Manager programs (6%, 10% and 6%) all use a static maximum drawdown fixed to the initial account balance. The Turbo and Crypto programs instead use a 6% trailing drawdown that moves up with your balance until it locks permanently at your starting balance.
Below is a breakdown of how the Get Leveraged drawdown model applies across account types and stages.
Static vs Trailing Drawdown
Static drawdown, also called absolute drawdown, sets your maximum loss at a fixed level calculated from the starting balance. That floor never moves, so any profit you make increases your total cushion. Trailing drawdown, also called relative drawdown, moves the loss level up as your balance rises, which protects part of your gains but reduces the room you have left to draw down. Static is generally easier to manage because the failure point stays in one place.
Breakdown by Account Type
Sprint Program
The Sprint Program uses a static maximum drawdown of just 1% of the initial account balance, the tightest of any Get Leveraged program, and it never moves for the life of the account.
Junior, Senior and Executive Portfolio Manager
These three programs all use a static maximum drawdown fixed to the initial account balance: 6% on Junior, 10% on Senior, and 6% on Executive. None of the three limits move as the account grows.
Turbo and Crypto Programs
Both programs use a 6% trailing maximum drawdown that starts below your initial balance and moves up as your closed balance reaches new highs. Once your closed balance climbs 6% above the starting capital, the drawdown locks permanently at the initial balance and stops trailing further.
Final Comments
Get Leveraged is explicit about which programs are static and which are trailing. The Sprint Program and all three Portfolio Manager programs use a static drawdown fixed to the starting balance, while the Turbo and Crypto programs use a 6% trailing drawdown that locks once your balance climbs 6% above the starting capital. Pick a Portfolio Manager or Sprint program if you want a fixed, unmoving failure point.
FAQ
Does Get Leveraged use static or trailing drawdown?
It depends on the program. The Sprint Program and the Junior, Senior and Executive Portfolio Manager programs are static, while the Turbo and Crypto programs use a 6% trailing drawdown.
What is static drawdown?
Static drawdown sets your maximum loss at a fixed level based on the starting balance. It does not move as your account grows, so the point at which the account fails stays the same.
Which Get Leveraged accounts use static drawdown?
The Sprint Program (1%) and the Junior (6%), Senior (10%) and Executive (6%) Portfolio Manager programs all use a static maximum drawdown.
Does the maximum drawdown trail on the funded stage?
On the Turbo and Crypto programs, yes, it keeps trailing until it locks once your closed balance reaches 6% above the starting capital. On the static programs, the drawdown never trails at any stage.
What is the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
A static drawdown keeps the loss level fixed from the starting balance, so your failure point never moves. A trailing drawdown moves the loss level up as your balance rises, which protects some profit but leaves you less room as you gain.
