Trailing Drawdown

In plain English: A drawdown limit that moves up as you make profit

A trailing drawdown starts at a set level and rises as your account grows — but never comes back down. For example: you start with a $2,500 drawdown on a $50K account. If you make $1,000, your new floor rises to $51,000 − $2,500 = $48,500. It locks in your progress.
