Lux Trading Firm drawdown rules
When the loss limit rises, what it is measured against, where it stops rising and what a payout does to it, in the firm’s own words.

What taking a payout does to the limit
Our reading
Nothing — the limit stays where it was, down to the balance the account opened with
“After a trader withdraws their profits on the professional live trading stages, the account balance and maximum high are reset to the initial balance (or scaled up). This also resets the maximum drawdown level to 6% of the starting balance. So, every month you make a profit and withdraw; you also start with a new drawdown.”rules page · luxtradingfirm.com/trading-rules/ · 2026-08-04 · saved copy
