The rules & drawdown cluster defines every loss-limit and behaviour term in prop trading: the drawdown family (static, trailing, end-of-day), the daily loss limit, the consistency rule, and the behavioural rules - news windows, weekend holding, IP checks - that end accounts without a loss. Every entry carries a worked example and links its full guide.
Key Takeaways
- The drawdown type matters more than the percentage: trailing tick-by-tick at 10% is harder than static at 6%.
- Daily loss limits reset; maximum drawdown never does.
- Behavioural rules (news, weekend, IP) breach accounts without a losing trade.
