Static vs Trailing Drawdown - What's the Difference?

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


⚡ Overview

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


📊 Static vs Trailing

Type

How It Works

Plans

Static Drawdown

Fixed at start. Does not change as balance grows.

2-Step Standard, 2-Step Plus

Trailing Drawdown (Lock on Payout)

Moves with equity until it reaches the initial balance. Then locks permanently at payout.

1-Step Standard, 1-Step Plus & Instant Funding


💡 Example (Trailing with Lock)

  • $100,000 account

  • Drawdown starts at $94,000

  • Equity rises to $108,000 → trailing stops at $100,000

  • You request payout → drawdown locks at $100,000 forever
