Open the firm pageHow it is computed
Floor = Initial capital (or peak, if trailing) − Max loss % × Initial capital · Room = Equity − Floor
A static floor never moves. A trailing floor rises with the highest balance reached and, on some programs, stops once it reaches the initial capital.

Compare this rule across firmsQuestions
What is a trailing drawdown?
A maximum loss measured from the highest balance reached instead of the starting balance: the floor follows your gains.
Does the floor keep rising forever?
Not always. Some firms stop trailing once the floor reaches the initial capital: tick the option when your firm quotes it.
Which peak should I enter?
The highest balance (or equity, if your firm says so) reached since the start of the account.
