The maximum drawdown starts at negative 6% of your starting balance.

If your negative equity reaches 6% of your starting balance, our system will automatically detect the violation and your account will be terminated immediately.

Once you achieve a 6% return, it stops trailing and the drawdown is locked at your starting balance. 

Example: When starting with a $100,000 funded account, your account would violate the maximum drawdown rule when your equity breaches $94,000. If you profit $2,000 with a closed balance, then your new maximum drawdown would be $2,000 higher than previously ($96,000). 

If you continue growing the account to $106,000, the new maximum drawdown would be permanently locked at the starting balance of $100,000. This would allow you to compound the account freely without exceeding the maximum drawdown. 

For example, if you achieve a new high watermark of 40% (a closing balance of $140,000), you would (so long as you don’t lose more than 4% of your account in one day) only violate the maximum drawdown if your account lost more than $40,000 and is under $100,000.

The daily max loss is the maximum your account is allowed to lose in one day. The daily max loss is 4% of your previous day’s closing balance (as of 17:00 EST). 

If a trader’s negative equity reaches 4% of their previous day’s balance, our system will automatically detect the violation and their account will be terminated immediately. 

Note: The daily max loss is not based on the previous day’s equity. It is based on the balance in your account. 

Example: If your previous day’s closing balance was $100,000, your account would be terminated if your equity reached $96,000. If your account had floating equity of $10,000 at the previous day’s closing, it would still be terminated if your equity reached $96,000.

Yes, once you pass the evaluation and make your first payout request, Index Fundings will reimburse your evaluation fee by adding the sum to your payout.

Yes. If you have achieved a profit of 10%, you may request a payout for your percentage of the profit and we will match it with a 10% increase in your capital. 

If your account continues to gain profit and your balance closes with another 10% profit, you may request another payout and we will match it again with another 10%. Please note, scaling is capped at $1,000,000. 

Example: You have a $100,000 funded account and make $10,000 (10%) of profit. You request your first payout. (IMPORTANT: Your first payout cannot be for the total $10,000, because your maximum drawdown is at $100,000, and if you withdraw the entire $10,000, although we will give you your money, we will also close your account. Instead we recommend your first payout be for $4,000, so that you still have 6% to drawdown before breaching). So you request a payout of $4,000. We pay you your share of the $4,000 and we increase your capital by 10%, so your current balance stands at $116,000 (your maximum drawdown is still at $100,000). 

You then make another 10% profit ($10,000). You request a payout, we pay you your share of the $10,000 and increase your capital with another $10,000, so your current account stands at $126,000. (At this point, your maximum drawdown is still at $100,000 and you've already pocketed your percentage of $14,000). 

There are only 3 ways to lose your account. 

1. Daily Drawdown

Accounts must not incur a 4% drawdown on a single day.

2. Maximum Drawdown

Accounts must not incur a 6% drawdown on total account size. This 6% drawdown trails your account until you achieve a 6% return on your account. Once you achieve a 6% return, it stops trailing and the drawdown is locked at your starting balance

3. Inactivity

Accounts must not remain inactive for 30 days or more.

Note – if a trader notifies Index Fundings that they cannot make a trade for 30 days due to extreme circumstances, we will allow the account to remain open. Such exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis, and will generally only be allowed once.
