Prop Firms With Static Drawdown on 100K Accounts
Static drawdown does not ratchet up as the account becomes profitable. For example, a 100K account with a $5,000 static rule keeps that $5,000 buffer regardless of equity, which is materially friendlier than a trailing rule for any strategy that books wins then risks a normal drawdown.
Static drawdown is overwhelmingly a forex-prop characteristic. Most futures firms use trailing because their internal risk model is calibrated to volatility per contract, not equity per account. The firms below explicitly run a static rule on at least one 100K program, usually the headline one. The wider trailing-drawdown landscape lives on a separate page.

Frequently asked questions
Why is static drawdown rarer in futures?
Futures-clearing-broker risk per contract is constant whether the account is at $98K or $108K, but the firm wants its exposure to drop as the trader becomes profitable. Trailing achieves that; static does not.
Does static drawdown change at any phase?
No, that is the definition. A "lock" rule that converts trailing-to-static after a buffer is not the same thing; on a truly static account the floor is set at start and never moves.
Are static-drawdown 100K accounts more expensive?
Marginally yes, with fees varying between programmes, when both are offered.
