How does drawdown work at CoinProp?

CoinProp uses two drawdown limits. The Max Loss Limit (MLL) is fixed at 6% below your starting balance. The Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is 3% of your initial balance subtracted from your current equity. Learn how both work across all account tiers.

CoinProp uses two drawdown limits to protect your account. They work differently from each other — one is fixed forever, the other updates with your equity.

Max Loss Limit (MLL) — 6%

Your account equity cannot drop below 94% of your starting balance at any point. This is the hard overall floor. It is fixed from the moment your account is created and never moves — not when you profit, not when you withdraw.

On a $10,000 account, your floor is $9,400 permenantly.

Daily Loss Limit (DLL) — 3%

Your daily loss limit is a fixed dollar amount — 3% of your initial account balance — that never changes. What changes is the floor it creates each day.

Every day at 00:00 UTC, the system takes a snapshot of your live equity and subtracts your fixed DLL amount to set your floor for that day. This repeats automatically every day for as long as your account is open.

Example — $10,000 Rising account (DLL = $300 fixed):

Equity at 00:00 UTC DLL floor for that day
$10,000 $9,700
$10,600 $10,300
$11,500 $11,200
$10,200 $9,900

The $300 is always the same. The floor simply follows your equity up and down with each daily rollover.

What "static" means — and why it matters

Most prop firms use trailing drawdown — your floor rises as your balance grows, tightening your risk room after a profitable run. CoinProp does not use trailing drawdown.

The MLL floor is fixed against your initial balance from day one and never moves in any direction. The DLL moves with your equity at each rollover — but the dollar amount deducted never changes. A winning streak does not tighten your MLL.

Drawdown limits by account tier

Account Balance MLL (6%) MLL floor DLL fixed amount (3%)
Starter $5,000 $300 $4,700 $150
Rising $10,000 $600 $9,400 $300
Professional $25,000 $1,500 $23,500 $750
Expert $50,000 $3,000 $47,000 $1,500
Master $100,000 $6,000 $94,000 $3,000

With the Extended Drawdown add-on

Account Balance MLL (6%) MLL floor DLL fixed amount (3%)
Starter $5,000 $300 $4,700 $150
Rising $10,000 $600 $9,400 $300
Professional $25,000 $1,500 $23,500 $750
Expert $50,000 $3,000 $47,000 $1,500
Master $100,000 $6,000 $94,000 $3,000

The DLL floor shown is the starting DLL floor. It will shift up as your equity grows and down when you withdraw.

With the Extended Drawdown add-on

An optional upgrade purchased before your evaluation starts. It increases both limits and raises the profit target to match. All three values change together.

Rule Base With Extended Drawdown
Max Loss Limit 6% 7%
Daily Loss Limit 3% 4%
Profit Target 9% 10%

Account Balance MLL (7%) MLL floor DLL (4% of initial)
Starter $5,000 $350 $4,650 $200
Rising $10,000 $700 $9,300 $400
Professional $25,000 $1,750 $23,250 $1,000
Expert $50,000 $3,500 $46,500 $2,000
Master $100,000 $7,000 $93,000 $4,000

The add-on carries through to your funded account automatically if you pass.

What happens when a limit is hit

Hitting either limit closes your account. You can purchase a new evaluation to start again — there is no penalty beyond the evaluation fee.

Drawdown is calculated on equity, meaning open unrealised losses count. If a trade moves against you enough to hit either floor before you exit, the account closes.

Frequently asked questions

  1. Does a winning day tighten my MLL floor? No. The MLL floor is anchored to your initial balance and never moves regardless of how much profit you make.
  2. Does my DLL floor change as my account grows? Yes. Every day at 00:00 UTC the system snapshots your live equity and sets your DLL floor at that equity minus your fixed DLL amount. As your account grows, your floor rises with it. As your equity decreases, your floor adjusts down at the next rollover.
  3. When exactly does the DLL reset? Every day at 00:00 UTC. The system takes a snapshot of your equity at that moment and that becomes your floor for the next 24 hours.
  4. Does the DLL dollar amount ever change? No. It is always 3% of your original initial balance — fixed from day one. On a $10,000 account it is always $300. What changes is the equity that $300 is subtracted from each day.
  5. Can I add the Extended Drawdown add-on after my evaluation starts? No. Add-ons must be purchased at the time of evaluation purchase and cannot be added afterward.
  6. Does the Extended Drawdown add-on apply to funded accounts? Yes. It carries through automatically. Your MLL becomes 7% and your DLL becomes 4% of initial balance on the funded account as well.
