SabioTrade Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
SabioTrade uses a trailing maximum drawdown across its accounts. With a trailing drawdown, the loss level follows your balance upward as you make profit, which protects part of your gains but reduces the room you have left before the account fails.
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 SabioTrade 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.

All plans
The All plans account uses a trailing drawdown in both the evaluation and the funded stage. The maximum drawdown trails from your highest simulated balance.
Final Comments
SabioTrade applies a trailing maximum drawdown across its accounts, so the loss level rises with your balance and a portion of each gain is protected while your available room shrinks as you profit. Traders who specifically want a fixed failure point will not find a static option here. 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.
