πŸ”’ Trailing Drawdown Lock Explained

Atmos uses a trailing drawdown with dual lock protection:

  1. Lock at Initial Balance β†’ Once your trailing drawdown reaches your starting balance again, the drawdown line stops trailing.

  2. Lock on Payout β†’ When you request a payout, the drawdown is fixed permanently at the initial balance level (e.g., $100,000).

Example:

  • $100,000 account

  • Max trailing drawdown = $94,000

  • Equity rises to $110,000 β†’ trailing line stops at $100,000

  • You request a payout β†’ the max drawdown permanently locks at $100,000

  • Even if you leave $105,000 in the account, your stop-out remains at $100,000

βœ… Tip: We encourage traders to leave a buffer in the account after payouts to help compound growth and reduce breach risk.
