OneFunded Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
OneFunded uses a static maximum drawdown. Its help centre describes the maximum drawdown as a fixed threshold measured from the initial account balance that never resets and applies continuously, regardless of any profits earned along the way.
Below is a breakdown of how the OneFunded 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
Standard Account
OneFunded’s maximum drawdown is a hard, permanent cap measured from the initial account balance. On a $100,000 account with a 10% limit, equity may never drop below $90,000 at any point, including through floating losses on open positions, and the threshold never moves as the account grows.
Final Comments
OneFunded keeps its risk rule simple: a static maximum drawdown fixed to the initial balance that never resets or moves, checked continuously against account equity including floating losses.
FAQ
Does OneFunded use static or trailing drawdown?
OneFunded uses a static maximum drawdown, fixed to the initial account balance and checked continuously, including floating losses.
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 OneFunded accounts use static drawdown?
All of them. OneFunded applies the same static maximum drawdown model, fixed to the initial balance, across its accounts.
Does the maximum drawdown trail on the funded stage?
No. The maximum drawdown at OneFunded never resets or moves at any stage, including the funded 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.
