BullRush Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
BullRush uses a trailing maximum drawdown during its FX & CFD Challenge and a static one once you are funded. During the Challenge, the drawdown is trailing, based on your end-of-day balance, and it stops trailing once you reach 7% profit on the account. On the Funded side, the drawdown becomes static instead. Its crypto plans (Classic, Pro and Turbo) are labeled static throughout, at 6%, 5% and 3% respectively.
Below is a breakdown of how the BullRush 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
FX & CFD Challenge
During the Challenge phase, BullRush uses a trailing maximum drawdown based on your end-of-day balance. On a $5,000 account the maximum drawdown is $350 (7%), and once you reach 7% profit on the account, it stops trailing and locks in place. On the Funded side, the drawdown is static instead.
Crypto Classic, Pro and Turbo
BullRush’s three crypto challenge tracks are each labeled with a static maximum drawdown: 6% on Classic, 5% on Pro, and 3% on Turbo, alongside a 3% daily loss limit on every plan.
Final Comments
BullRush is one of the few firms where the drawdown type changes between phases on the same account: the FX & CFD Challenge is trailing until it locks at 7% profit, then becomes static once you are funded. Its crypto plans, by contrast, are static from the start. Check which track you are on before assuming which rule applies.
FAQ
Does BullRush use static or trailing drawdown?
It depends on the track and stage. The FX & CFD Challenge is trailing until it locks at 7% profit, then becomes static on the funded side. The crypto Classic, Pro and Turbo plans are static throughout.
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 BullRush accounts use static drawdown?
The crypto Classic, Pro and Turbo plans are static throughout. The FX & CFD account becomes static once you reach the funded stage.
Does the maximum drawdown trail on the funded stage?
No. On the FX & CFD account, the drawdown trails only during the Challenge phase and becomes static once you are funded.
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.
