Prop Firms With Trailing Drawdown

Trailing Drawdown covers prop firms whose max drawdown trails your peak equity or balance, profiled by proprietarytrading.com.

44 firms match this criteria

Trailing drawdown means your maximum loss threshold moves up with your profits. As your account grows, the drawdown line trails behind — potentially forcing you to give back gains just to stay compliant.

This is the most common drawdown structure on the retail futures side of the proprietary trading industry. It's not automatically bad — trailing drawdown often comes bundled with lower evaluation fees and looser profit targets — but it demands different risk management than a static drawdown account.

The firms below use a trailing drawdown on at least one program. Confirm whether it trails intraday equity or end-of-day balance, and at what level it locks — that detail changes the whole strategy.

How a firm qualifies

A firm qualifies when one of its retail programs states a trailing max drawdown. Program-level data decides it; the firm-level column is used only when none of the firm's retail programs state a drawdown type.

Results use ProprietaryTrading.com's program and account-tier data where available, with firm-level data used as a fallback when appropriate. Firms with no stated value are excluded rather than counted as zero.
