Drawdown in plain words
Each program sets a loss limit: an account that falls to it fails. How the limit moves depends on the drawdown type.
Maximum drawdown
EDGE, FLEX Day Trade, FLEX Swing, MAX Day Trade, MAX Swing
Example: Trade The Pool EDGE on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. How it moves after that is set in Trade The Pool’s own rules. (data checked )
