Max Drawdown

Static, measured from the initial balance, in the challenge and on the Master account. After the first reward the floor locks at the initial balance for good. Hard breach.

Static, measured from the starting balance, in the evaluation and until the first approved funded payout. That payout moves the floor to the starting balance, once and permanently. Touching it with balance or equity breaches the account.

Profit Split

80%.

80% on the first four approved payouts, 85% on the fifth and 90% from the sixth. A rejected request does not advance it.

Daily Drawdown

Hard breach, open positions included. A fixed share of the initial balance, subtracted at 00:00 server time (CET/CEST) from the higher of balance or equity.

Hard breach, floating losses included. The allowance is a percentage of the starting balance, subtracted at each daily reset from the higher of closing balance or equity. The program rules set the reset at 22:00 UTC; the FAQ says 5 PM ET.
