What is the Max Total Loss (Drawdown)?

Max Total Loss (Drawdown)
Drawdown is the maximum cumulative loss allowed across all days. While Max Daily Loss limits a single session, drawdown limits the overall decline allowed for the account.
How drawdown works in 2-Step (Fixed)
In the 2-Step Evaluation, the drawdown limit is fixed from the starting balance. If your account equity reaches that fixed limit at any time, the Evaluation fails.
How drawdown works in 1-Step (EOD Trailing)
In the 1-Step Evaluation, drawdown is EOD trailing. The trailing reference is your highest end-of-day equity(since all P&L is realized intraday). Your drawdown floor is then set to 10% of account size below that reference.
Example (10L account, 10% trailing band)
Account size = ₹10,00,000 → trailing band = ₹1,00,000.
- Day 1 closes at +₹50,000 → highest EOD equity becomes ₹10,50,000
- Drawdown floor becomes ₹9,50,000 (₹10,50,000 − ₹1,00,000)
- If your equity touches ₹9,50,000 later, the 1-Step Evaluation fails
This trailing structure rewards steady progress, but it also requires discipline once your account reaches new highs.
