Alpha Futures — trailing drawdown — 100k
Rules read from Alpha Futures's own documentation on 2026-07-22 · rules/alpha-zero
Alpha Futures's Zero models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 100k account size: the threshold tracks the highest end-of-day closed balance and never moves back down. The floor stops trailing once it locks; the corpus records a lock condition for this program.
