Table of contents
At Top One Futures, we implement a drawdown lock to help traders protect their profits as they progress in their sim funded accounts. This feature allows you to build your account without worrying about your drawdown continuing to trail indefinitely, providing more stability and security as you withdraw funds.
When does my drawdown lock based on profits achieved?
Once you reach the amount of your total drawdown in profits plus $100, the drawdown locks in at your starting balance + $100 and no longer trails with your account growth.
