Traderscale Pro Maximum Drawdown

Updated over a week ago

All Pro accounts at Traderscale are subject to a 10 percent maximum drawdown limit.

This drawdown is static, meaning it does not trail upward as your balance increases.


How the 10 Percent Maximum Drawdown Works

• The limit is 10 percent of the starting account balance
• It applies at all times during the life of the account

This means the equity of the trading account must never decline below 90 percent of the initial account balance.


Example

On a $100,000 Pro account:

• The lowest permitted equity level is $90,000
• If equity falls below $90,000 at any time, the account is considered breached

This calculation includes both open and closed positions.


Important Reminder

Maximum drawdown is based on equity at all times. Open trades can trigger a breach even if your closed balance appears compliant.

Traderscale strongly recommends maintaining a comfortable buffer below the maximum limit to allow for normal market volatility.
