What is the maximum drawdown on each product?

The overall loss ceiling for One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, and Instant 24h, side by side.

The short answer

Maximum drawdown is your overall loss ceiling: the lowest your equity is allowed to fall over the life of the account. One Step uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown, Two Step an 8% static maximum drawdown, Instant a 5% trailing, Instant Pro a 6% trailing, and Instant 24h a 3% trailing. Every figure is published in full and shown live on your dashboard as you trade.

Maximum drawdown is the floor under your whole account. Daily drawdown limits how much you may lose within a single day and resets at 00:00 UTC. Maximum drawdown does not reset. It is the single line that ends an account if it is breached. Both limits are measured on your equity, which includes the floating profit and loss of any open positions, so a position moving for or against you is counted in real time. Here is how the ceiling works on each UZO product.

Static limits are measured from your starting balance and never move. Trailing limits follow your equity upward and, on the locking products, settle at your starting balance once you are in profit. The sections below explain what that means in practice, and every product shares the same 90% profit split, so the differences here are about risk room, never reward.


Two Step: 8% static

Two Step uses a static maximum drawdown of 8%. Static means the breach line is fixed at the start and never moves. On a $10,000 account, your equity may not fall below $9,200 at any point, in either phase or once funded. As you grow your balance, that floor stays exactly where it was, so every dollar of profit becomes clear cushion above the line.

A static floor is the most forgiving arrangement once you are in profit, because it does not follow your gains upward. This is why Two Step pairs its wider ceiling with a two-phase structure of a 6% target and then 4%, alongside a 4% daily drawdown.


One Step, Instant and Instant Pro: trailing that locks

One Step, Instant and Instant Pro use a trailing maximum drawdown: 6% on One Step, 5% on Instant, and 6% on Instant Pro. Trailing means the floor follows your equity upward. It begins that same percentage below your opening balance, and as your equity rises the breach line rises with it, staying the same distance beneath your balance. Once you are in profit by the trailing amount, the floor reaches your starting balance and locks there. From that moment it is fixed at your starting balance and no longer moves, whether your equity climbs further or falls back, so your original capital is protected while your gains stay entirely your own.

The daily drawdowns sit alongside these ceilings: One Step and Instant carry a 3% daily drawdown, and Instant Pro a 4% daily drawdown, each resetting at 00:00 UTC. Instant and Instant Pro cap single-trade loss at 2% on the funded account.

Instant and Instant Pro are the same in reward, both keeping the 90% profit split. The difference between them is room to trade: Instant Pro runs the more generous envelope of a 4% daily and 6% trailing drawdown, against Instant's 3% and 5%. Instant Pro gives you more space to hold a position through normal market movement, not a smaller share of what you earn.


Instant 24h: 3% trailing that keeps trailing

Instant 24h is the most closely defined product on every risk dimension, by design. Its maximum drawdown is 3% trailing, paired with a 2% daily drawdown and a 1% single-trade loss cap. The objective is a 3% profit target within a 24-hour window across at least 7 trades, so the limits are kept close to keep the session fast and focused.

Unlike the other three trailing products, this floor never locks. It follows your equity upward for the full 24 hours, staying the same distance below your highest point throughout, so a sharp reversal can still reach it even after a strong early move. Size your positions with that in mind and you have a clean, self-contained route to a funded result in a single day.


Your dashboard shows the live line

Every figure above is published and fixed, and your dashboard shows the exact maximum drawdown, daily drawdown, and current breach line for your account, updating live as you trade. Whether your product runs a trailing or a static floor, the number shown there is the one that counts, so you always know precisely where your limits are.

One rule, always true

Drawdown is measured on your equity, floating profit and loss included, and your dashboard is the source of truth for every limit on your account. Trailing or static, the live breach line shown there is the number that governs your account.

There is no time limit and no minimum number of trading days on One Step or Two Step, so you may take the time you need to trade within these limits.
