Table of contents
At Top One Futures, effective risk management is the foundation of our trading programs. Our drawdown rules ensure a fair and transparent trading environment while protecting traders from excessive losses. This article explains how the Max Trailing Drawdown operates on Elite accounts (for the Daily Drawdown, see Daily Drawdown: What You Need to Know). Note: the drawdown rules are the same for both Elite Evaluation Accounts and Elite Sim Funded Accounts.
Important note on intraday breaches: while the Max Trailing Drawdown is calculated based on your end-of-day balance, you cannot drop below the drawdown threshold at any time intraday. For example, on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 Max Trailing Drawdown, if your balance falls below $48,000, even for a moment, this will trigger a breach. Recovering above the threshold later in the session does not reverse the breach.
Max Trailing Drawdown: Based on Highest Closed Balance at EOD
The Max Trailing Drawdown ensures you maintain a sustainable trading approach while scaling your account. It is set as follows:
| Account size | Max Trailing Drawdown | Starting breach level |
|---|
It adjusts dynamically based on the highest closed balance at the end of the day achieved during your trading.

If your account balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, your account is considered breached, and trading will stop.

If you are trading an Elite Evaluation account, your account will be paused until your anniversary billing date, or you may purchase a reset prior to your anniversary date and begin trading immediately.

− - $25,000 Account:
− Trailing Drawdown = $1,000.
− If the highest closed balance is $26,000, the trailing drawdown moves to $25,000.
− If the balance drops below $25,000, the account is breached.
− - $50,000 Account:
− Trailing Drawdown = $2,000.
− If the highest closed balance is $51,000, the trailing drawdown moves to $49,000.
