![]() Look at the figure below to see how the Trailing Max Drawdown works with a starting balance of $100,000 and a Trailing Max Drawdown of $3,000 (with hypothetical profits and losses). The Trailing Max Drawdown will stop increasing when your account balance becomes equal to your starting account balance. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.A Trailing Max Drawdown is the maximum amount of loss that your account can sustain, but it ‘trails’ up, meaning as you accrue profits the Trailing Max Drawdown increases. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. Also, because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.ĬFTC Rule 4.41 – Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations.
