Static vs Trailing Drawdown - What's the Difference?

Updated over a week ago

Atmos Funded uses both static and trailing drawdown rules, depending on the plan. Understanding the difference is key to risk management.


⚑ TL;DR

Static drawdown never moves. Trailing drawdown moves with equity until it reaches your starting balance (and may lock/reset depending on plan).
