Prop firms with static drawdown
A static maximum loss is measured from your starting balance and never moves. A trailing one rises as you profit, which means giving back an open gain can breach an account that is still up on the month. If you have ever failed a challenge while in profit, this is the filter you wanted.

Questions about this ranking
What is static drawdown?
A maximum loss line fixed to your starting balance. On a $100,000 account with a 10% static cap, your equity may never go below $90,000 regardless of how much profit you make first.
Is static drawdown better than trailing?
Usually, yes: on two otherwise identical programmes, a static line is the more forgiving, because it does not rise as you profit. It lets you build a profit cushion that genuinely stays yours.
Which prop firms use static drawdown?
Most of the CFD 2-step programmes we track do. Almost every futures programme we track trails instead, which is why the futures list is ranked by widest loss cap rather than price.
