1. As your account balance increases, the Pro Drawdown EOD adjusts upward by a fixed increment.
2. The Pro Drawdown EOD is calculated dynamically at the end of each trading day.
3. If your balance decreases, the Drawdown value remains unchanged.
You can also view your Pro Drawdown EOD in the dashboard at the end of each trading day.
Once the Pro Drawdown EOD reaches your initial starting balance, it becomes fixed for the remainder of your evaluation. If your account balance touches or falls below this value, your evaluation account becomes ineligible for funding. The calculation of the Pro Drawdown EOD includes simulated commissions and fees.
Example: For a $50,000 account with a $2,500 drawdown limit, if the trader earns $500, the drawdown rises accordingly. This means that the account would not be lost at $47,500, but rather at $48,000.
However, if the trader has managed to make a profit of over $2,500, then the drawdown will no longer follow, but will remain at the initial balance. In this case, at $50,000.
Instead of the standard $5 fee for e-mini contracts, traders at 4Proptrader pay only $2.
For micro contracts, the fee is $0.50 per round turn (RT).
The Pro Drawdown EOD is set at $3,500.
Day 1: Open position balance: +$100,200 → Closed at $100,000 → Drawdown: $96,500
Day 2: Open: +$100,500 → Closed at $99,000 → Drawdown: $96,500
Day 3: No trades → Balance: $99,000 → Drawdown: $96,500
Day 4: Open: +$102,000 → Closed at $100,000 → Drawdown: $96,500
Day 5: Open: +$108,000 → Closed at $105,000 → Drawdown: $100,000
Note: Unrealized winnings are not included in the Pro Drawdown EOD calculation.
ONLY FOR FUNDED ACCOUNTS
To support consistent risk management and encourage sustainable trading practices, funded traders are subject to a Daily Loss Limit. On any trading day, a trader may incur a loss of up to 50% of the End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown Limit. Exceeding this threshold is considered a rule violation. This safeguard is designed to help traders preserve their accounts and promote disciplined, long-term trading strategies.
The Daily Loss Limit is directly linked to the account's initial Drawdown Limit, not the fluctuating account balance. For instance, if you're using a 50K account with an initial Drawdown Limit of $2,500, your Daily Loss Limit will be set at $1,250. It's essential to remember that even as your account balance changes due to profits or losses, this Daily Loss Limit remains static and is always based on the initial Drawdown Limit. This structure is designed to foster consistent risk management practices among our traders.
Important: Reaching the Daily Loss Limit constitutes a rule violation and will result in the permanent closure of your account.
Monitor the daily loss status in your account dashboard.
The Maximum Position Size refers to the total number of open contracts a trader is allowed to hold at any one time.
For example, if your Maximum Position Size is set to 5, you may hold a long position in 3 CL (Crude Oil) contracts and a short position in 2 ES (E-mini S&P 500) contracts at the same time.
The Target is the minimum net amount a trader must achieve to qualify for a performance account.
To qualify for placement with our funding partners, you must engage in trading activities for a minimum of five trading days, excluding weekends and holidays.
These five trading days represent the minimum requirement; however, you may continue trading until you achieve the target for your evaluation account, even if it takes longer than a month.
Please note that subscription billing recurs every 30 days.
Please keep in mind that while you may trade on holidays, any activity during these days will not count as a trading day.
Please always keep an eye on your subscriptions! Active subscriptions must be canceled independently. We cannot refund payments that are subsequently debited from active subscriptions.
