FXIFY Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
FXIFY lets you choose your drawdown type when you buy a challenge. A static option is available on the 1 Step, 2 Step and 3 Step programs, where the maximum loss is fixed at a percentage of the starting balance for the life of the account. The default option is a trailing drawdown that follows your balance upward.
In short, a static drawdown gives you a fixed and predictable failure point, while a trailing drawdown moves with your balance. The daily loss limit still applies on every account alongside the maximum drawdown.
Below is a breakdown of how the FXIFY 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
The 1 Step account uses a static drawdown in both the evaluation and the funded stage. The loss level is set from the starting balance and does not trail as your account grows.
2 Step
The 2 Step account uses a static drawdown in both the evaluation and the funded stage. The loss level is set from the starting balance and does not trail as your account grows.
3 Step
The 3 Step account uses a static drawdown in both the evaluation and the funded stage. The loss level is set from the starting balance and does not trail as your account grows.
Final Comments
FXIFY lets you pick your drawdown type at checkout, so a static option is available for traders who want a fixed failure point, alongside the trailing default. On every account, the daily loss limit continues to apply alongside the maximum drawdown, and the exact percentages depend on the account size and program.
