Max drawdown
In one line: one static floor, equity-based, and the only account-ending limit.
The floor#
A single static floor at 10–12%PROVISIONAL of starting balance. Equity-based: marks count, so an open position moving against you can reach it. It is the only account-ending limit on a prediction account.
Why there is no daily rule#
Binary markets resolve in clusters; a daily rule would punish the calendar, not the trader.
One floor is the whole risk rule. Size for a bad slate, not a bad day.
