Enter a starting balance and a sequence of trade results to see running drawdown from peak equity, the maximum drawdown reached, and how close you are to a configurable breach limit. It makes the difference between balance and equity drawdown visible before it costs you a funded account.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between balance and equity drawdown?
Balance drawdown is measured on closed trades; equity drawdown includes open floating losses. Prop firms typically measure the harsher equity drawdown, which is why a position can breach intraday before it closes.
What is a trailing drawdown?
A trailing (or relative) drawdown follows your high-water mark: the ceiling rises as your equity peaks, so a later loss can breach even if you never fell below the starting balance.
How close to the limit should I stop?
The calculator shows your remaining buffer. A common practice is to stop well before the hard limit (e.g. at 80% of it) so a single slippage event cannot push you over.
