The static drawdown on Pipstone 1-Step and 2-Step accounts means the maximum drawdown equity level remains fixed at the initial balance and does not adjust as profits grow.
Unlike a trailing drawdown, which moves upward with your gains, the static drawdown provides a clear, unchanging limit on how much loss can occur before the account is breached.
How It Works
The maximum drawdown is locked at your starting balance and stays constant throughout your trading.
This applies to all 1-Step and 2-Step accounts, including both Evaluation (Phase 1 & 2) and Funded stages.
Once your balance or equity drops below the static drawdown limit, the account is considered breached.
Key Advantages
The static drawdown offers predictability and stability — traders always know their exact risk limit.
Since it does not trail profits, there are no withdrawal-related risks, unlike trailing drawdown accounts.
This structure is ideal for traders who prefer a fixed and transparent risk parameter that doesn’t change as they grow their account.
