Table of contents
The trailing drawdown on Instant Sim Funded accounts is set at 3% to 4% of the starting balance. It tracks the highest account balance achieved by the end of the day (5:00 pm EST) and keeps you within acceptable risk limits.
Starting max drawdown per account size
Account size | Instant Sim Funded (before 7/27/2026) | Instant Sim Funded 2.0 (on or after 7/27/2026)
$25,000 | $1,000 | $1,000
$50,000 | $2,000 | $2,000
$100,000 | $3,000 | $4,000
$150,000 | $4,500 | $5,250
How the trailing works
- Dynamic calculation: the drawdown moves up as your account balance reaches new highs, but never moves down, even if your balance decreases.
- End of day: it is based on your highest closed balance at the end of the day (5:00 pm EST), ensuring clarity and fairness.
- Account breach: if your balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, the account is considered breached and closed.
