Max and Daily Drawdown

Max Overall Simulated Drawdown

The max overall simulated drawdown limit for the TopTier Challenge is based on your initial simulated balance and is 10% of that value.

For example, if you have an initial sim balance of $100,000.00, your max overall sim drawdown limit would be $10,000.00. Meaning that your sim account’s equity would not be allowed to go below $92,000.00.

Another example would be if you had an initial sim balance of $100,000.00 but your current sim balance is $150,000.00, your max overall sim drawdown limit would still be $10,000.00 which is based on your initial sim balance. Meaning that your sim account’s equity would not be allowed to go below $90,000.00.

A simple way to calculate the max overall sim drawdown is:

  • Initial Balance X 0.10 = Drawdown Limit
  • Initial Balance – (Initial Balance X 0.10) = Drawdown Equity Limit

Note that exceeding the max overall drawdown limit will result in the automatic failure/breach of your account.

Daily Simulated Drawdown Limit

The daily simulated drawdown limit for the TopTier Challenge accounts is 5% of either the starting day’s virtual balance or starting day’s virtual equity depending on which is higher. The simulated drawdown will reset at 5PM EST.

For example, if you had a virtual balance of $100,000.00 and sim equity of $105,000.00 at 5PM EST, your daily sim drawdown limit would be $5,250.00 which is based on your sim equity as it is higher than the sim balance. Meaning that your account’s sim equity would not be allowed to go below $99,750.00.

Another example would be if you had a sim balance of $100,000.00 and equity of $97,500.00 at 5PM EST, your daily sim drawdown limit would be $5,000.00 which is based on your sim balance as it is higher than the sim equity. Meaning that your account’s sim equity would not be allowed to go below $95,000.00.

A simple way to calculate the daily sim drawdown is:

  • Higher Account Value = Starting Day’s Balance or Starting Day’s Equity, depending on which is higher.
  • Higher Account Value X 0.05 = Drawdown Limit
  • Higher Account Value – Drawdown Limit = Drawdown Equity Limit

Note that exceeding the daily sim drawdown limit will result in the automatic failure/breach of your account.

Account Inactivity

TopTier Challenge accounts are automatically disabled after 30 days of inactivity from the date of issue by the broker which would be your purchase date.

To avoid your account from being disabled please log into your account at least once every 30 days to avoid the account from being disabled.
