## 4PropTrader drawdown rules

4PropTrader's plans state a maximum drawdown of 2.4% to 6% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day), across 12 plans.

A daily loss limit figure is not recorded in the plan details we hold. The firm may still set one, so check its rules page rather than assuming there is none.

Dollar amounts are the published percentage applied to the account size.
