Elite Trader Funding — trailing drawdown — 50k

Rules read from Elite Trader Funding's own documentation on 2026-07-30 · rules/elite-trader-funding

Elite Trader Funding's 1 Step Evaluation models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 50k account size: the threshold tracks the highest equity reached intraday, including open positions and never moves back down. The corpus records no lock condition — the floor keeps trailing for the life of the evaluation.

"Drawdown Type Live Trailing, Open and Realized Profit. ... The maximum allowed loss trails your highest unrealized profit during the day. If your open P&L spikes and then gives back, the floor can have moved against you, even before the trade closes."Source: https://elitetraderfunding.app/1-step-evaluation — retrieved 2026-07-30 · last checked 2026-07-30
