Instant Funding's Instant Funding (flagship, no-evaluation instant-funded account program) models its maximum drawdown as a static floor at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (625, 1250, 2500, 5k, 10k, 20k, 40k, 80k, 120k): the limit is fixed at 10% (scales by size) below your starting balance and does not trail up as the account grows. It is measured against the highest equity reached intraday, including open positions.
