A static drawdown is a loss limit fixed at a level that does not move, whatever profit the account makes. It is the loosest of the common shapes for a trader who holds winners, because the room you start with is the room you keep. It is also the shape least often published under that name, and this page is explicit about what we can and cannot verify.
What static means, set against the other two shapes
Three shapes appear in this market. A trailing limit follows the account's high water mark upward and, at some firms, follows unrealised profit. An end-of-day limit moves once a day, at the close, on realised profit only. A static limit does not move at all: it sits at a fixed distance below the starting balance for the life of the account. From a trader's point of view they run from strictest to loosest in that order, though the distances differ enough that the shape alone does not settle which is more forgiving.
What the firms in this index actually publish
None of the ten firms whose pages we can read publishes the phrase static drawdown. What several publish is an end-of-day drawdown, which is frequently described as static in third-party write-ups and is not the same thing: an end-of-day limit still moves, just once a day and only on realised profit. Take Profit Trader publishes end-of-day drawdown with no buffer requirement, Tradeify publishes end-of-day drawdowns, and Bulenox and TradeDay publish it as one of two options.
Why we do not fill the gap
Five firms in this market cannot be read from our infrastructure, including Apex Trader Funding, and some of them may well publish a static rule. Rather than assemble a static drawdown list from review sites, this page records what can be verified: nobody we can read uses the term, and the nearest published rule is end-of-day. If you specifically need a limit that never moves, ask the firm directly and get the answer in writing, because the vocabulary in this market is used loosely enough that the label alone is not reliable.
Questions people ask about static drawdown
Is end-of-day drawdown the same as static?
No. An end-of-day limit still moves, once a day, on realised profit. A static limit does not move at all. They are often conflated in third-party articles.
Which firms have a static drawdown?
None of the ten firms this site can read publishes that term. We do not list firms we cannot verify, so this page says so rather than offering a list assembled from elsewhere.
Why does the shape matter more than the number?
Because the same figure behaves differently under each shape. A $2,500 limit that trails your peak can leave less usable room than a $2,000 limit that never moves, depending on how you hold trades.
