Top One Crypto - Maximum Trailing Drawdown Overview

How the maximum trailing drawdown works on Top One Crypto One Step and Instant Funding accounts, with examples.

Written by Lars

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown acts as a safety limit on your Top One Crypto account. It starts based on your initial account balance and trails upward as your account grows, until it locks at your starting balance.

Top One Crypto accounts can be purchased through www.toponecrypto.com.

Max Trailing Drawdown: 6% on One Step accounts and 5% on Instant Funding accounts. It locks at your starting balance once you reach a gain equal to the drawdown percentage.

Explanation

The drawdown continues to trail your closing balance until you reach a total profit equal to the drawdown percentage. Once that level is reached, the drawdown locks at your starting balance and stops trailing. After locking, your account will only breach if your equity falls below the original starting balance.

How the Trailing Drawdown Works

Phase

What Happens

Starting phase

When you begin trading, your trailing drawdown is calculated from your starting balance. One Step accounts start with a 6% trailing drawdown; Instant Funding accounts start with a 5% trailing drawdown. If your equity reaches this level at any time, the account breaches.

Trailing phase

As your account grows, the drawdown level moves up with your closing balance. It continues to move upward until your total profit reaches the full drawdown percentage.

Locking phase

Once your account reaches a total gain equal to the drawdown percentage (6% for One Step accounts, 5% for Instant Funding accounts), the trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance and no longer moves upward. From this point forward, your account will only breach if your equity falls below the starting balance.

Examples (Starting Balance 100,000)

Account Balance

One Step (6%)

Instant Funding (5%)

100,000 (start)

Breach level 94,000

Breach level 95,000

103,000

Breach level 97,000

Breach level 98,000

105,000

Breach level 99,000

5% gain reached: locks at 100,000

106,000

6% gain reached: locks at 100,000

Locked at 100,000

Once locked, even if your account grows to much higher levels, the account will only breach if equity drops below 100,000.

Important Note

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown works independently from the Daily Drawdown rule. You must always respect both limits. Breaching either rule will result in an account violation.
