What it means for a trader
Day Trader Funding's single program models a 4% static drawdown floor. No daily loss limit applies to this program — the firm’s own rules impose none.
Worked example: on the $50K Evaluation account, the drawdown floor sits at a hard $2,000 — read straight off this program’s own rule file for this size. (see the freshness note above)
