Firms with a static (non-trailing) drawdown floor
A static floor is fixed once, relative to the account's starting balance, and never moves for the life of the evaluation — it does not ratchet upward as the account becomes profitable, and it never tightens. An account that runs up to +30% and gives back most of it to +5% is measured against the exact same floor it started with.
The confusion runs the other way from a trailing floor: traders who have read about trailing drawdown elsewhere sometimes assume every evaluation ratchets, and are surprised a static floor gives room back after a losing stretch instead of locking in a prior high. No page below links to a firm-rules page dedicated to this mechanic, because none exists yet in the generated firm-rules/ set — each row instead links to that firm's own daily-loss rule page, honestly labeled, since every firm below has one.
- OFP Funding: Unresolved in this firm's own documentation (read, not reconciled): whether the trailing drawdown floor tracks the intraday peak or the end-of-day balance. PropSurvival's independent two-pass recheck on 2026-07-31 disagreed with the first read on this exact field.
