SabioTrade — trailing drawdown

Rules read from SabioTrade's own documentation on 2026-07-31 · rules/sabiotrade

SabioTrade's Essential models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (20k, 50k, 100k, 200k, 650k): the threshold tracks the highest closed balance after each closed trade and never moves back down. The corpus records no lock condition — the floor keeps trailing for the life of the evaluation.
