Prop-firm rules: Trailing vs static drawdown

This week's prop-firm discussion is about the rules, not the brands. ZenithFX does not recommend or rank any programme; the rules below are general and every programme publishes its own. What to check - A static maximum drawdown is fixed from the starting balance; a trailing one follows your highest balance (or highest intraday equity) up. - Intraday trailing drawdown can count unrealised profit you gave back — a winning trade can still tighten your limit. - Some programmes stop trailing once the limit reaches the starting balance. Read where it locks. Compare programmes side by side, with the official source for each rule: https://zenithfx.com/prop-firms Discussion: Has a trailing drawdown ever ended an account that was in profit?
