The Trading Pit — trailing drawdown — 50k
Rules read from The Trading Pit's own documentation on 2026-07-30 · rules/the-trading-pit
The Trading Pit's Futures Prime models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 50k 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.
