Dominion Funding Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
Dominion Funding uses a static maximum drawdown on its evaluation accounts and a trailing one on Instant. The 1-Step Standard (6%) and 2-Step Standard (8%) accounts are both fixed to the initial balance and never move. The Instant account instead uses a 5% trailing drawdown that moves upward with your simulated profit but is capped at the initial balance, so it never exceeds your starting capital.
Below is a breakdown of how the Dominion Funding 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
1-Step Standard
The 1-Step Standard account uses a static 6% equity requirement fixed to the initial balance. This limit does not change during the account’s lifetime, even as the account registers simulated profits or losses.
2-Step Standard
The 2-Step Standard account uses a static 8% equity requirement fixed to the initial balance, applied consistently across Phase 1, Phase 2 and the funded Master stage.
Instant
The Instant account uses a 5% trailing equity requirement that moves upward as your simulated end-of-day balance rises, but the limit is capped once it reaches your initial balance, so it will never exceed your starting capital.
Final Comments
Dominion Funding splits its drawdown model cleanly: the 1-Step and 2-Step evaluation accounts use a static equity requirement fixed to the initial balance, while Instant uses a 5% trailing requirement that is capped once it reaches the starting balance. If you want a fixed, unmoving failure point, the Standard evaluation accounts are the more predictable choice.
FAQ
Does Dominion Funding use static or trailing drawdown?
It depends on the account. The 1-Step Standard and 2-Step Standard accounts use a static equity requirement, while the Instant account uses a 5% trailing requirement capped at the initial balance.
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 Dominion Funding accounts use static drawdown?
The 1-Step Standard (6%) and 2-Step Standard (8%) accounts both use a static equity requirement fixed to the initial balance.
Does the maximum drawdown trail on the funded stage?
On the Instant account, yes, though it is capped once it reaches the initial balance. On the Standard evaluation accounts, the equity requirement stays static on the funded Master stage too.
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.
