    Our drawdown is static, which means that the drawdown level does not change as your account balance changes. The overall drawdown is set at maximum of 8% from the initial account balance.  For example, for a 100k account, your maximum loss limit is $8k. If you made some profits and now your account balance is 110k your drawdown limit remains at 92k. So, as long as your balance/equity (whichever is lower) is over 92k, you will not violate the overall drawdown.




  • How do I calculate the average lot size?

    The formula provided is used to calculate a trader’s average trade size, which is an important metric to evaluate trading performance and consistency. 

    Here’s a detailed explanation:

    1. Total Lots Traded (not including pending orders): This refers to the sum of the lot sizes for all executed market order trades. Pending orders, such as limit and stop orders, are not considered in this calculation as they have not been executed yet.

    2. Total Market Order Trades: This is the total number of executed market orders, which are trades that get filled immediately at the current market price.

    To calculate the average trade size, divide the total lots traded by the total market order trades: Average Trade Size = Total Lots Traded / Total Market Order Trades 

    For example, suppose a trader has executed 20 market order trades with a total of 200 lots traded. The average trade size would be: Average Trade Size = 200 lots / 20 trades = 10 lots 

     
  • What is considered a single trade?

    Regardless of how a trade is split up, it’s counted as one entry. For instance, trading 1 lot or splitting it into two 0.5 lots are both considered a single trade
