FundedNext Drawdown Calculator
FundedNext's Stellar 2-Step, 1-Step and Lite accounts use a static max loss, fixed below your initial balance, so it never moves up with your profits. The daily loss limit is a fixed percentage of the initial balance, measured from your balance at the start of each trading day. Stellar Instant is the exception: no daily limit, and a 6% trailing max loss.
- Daily: $100,000 at today's reset − $5,000 (5% of the $100,000 initial balance) = $95,000.
- Max loss: $100,000 − $10,000 = $90,000, fixed for the life of the account.
- Both limits are checked against your equity ($100,000), so floating P/L counts.
Most drawdown breaches happen around CPI, NFP and FOMC. See this week's high-impact events and BiasForge's bias →
Pre-filled with an example, so replace the figures with your own. Firm presets follow each firm's published rules on the date shown, and rules change. Custom mode assumes the limit is a fixed dollar amount set from your starting balance and leaves out daily loss limits. For education only, not financial advice.

Where drawdown usually goes
Most blown limits are not one bad trade but one bad hour, and those hours cluster around the big US releases. Before a CPI, NFP or FOMC day, check how much room your FundedNext account has and size down. The playbooks cover each one: how to trade CPI, how to trade NFP and how to trade FOMC on a funded account, and this week's high-impact releases.

Does FundedNext Stellar Instant have a daily loss limit?
No. Its only loss limit is the 6% trailing max loss. FundedNext does not spell out exactly how that limit trails, so this calculator trails your highest end-of-day balance. Check the current rule with FundedNext.
