Purdia Capital 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 makes the loss limit rise · funded, phase 1
Our reading
It rises with the day's closing balance
“With an EOD trailing drawdown, the threshold updates only after the trading session ends each day. Unrealized profits during the trading session, or even realized profits that are lost prior to the session ending, do not move the threshold intraday.”help centre · purdia.com/knowledgebase/general/rules-and-risk-management/the-max-drawdown · 2026-09-11 · saved copy

Where the limit stops rising
Our reading
It never stops rising
“In addition, in our accounts with a trailing max drawdown, the threshold never stops trailing while in the sim account, and continues to trail even past the point of breakeven.”help centre · purdia.com/knowledgebase/general/rules-and-risk-management/the-max-drawdown · 2026-09-11 · saved copy

What taking a payout does to the limit
Our reading
Nothing — the limit stays where it was
“As the account grows, the threshold remains fixed unless adjusted through payouts or risk parameter changes. Trading losses, payouts, fees, or other deductions reduce the remaining buffer above the threshold.”help centre · purdia.com/knowledgebase/general/funding-process/live-funded-account · 2026-09-11 · saved copy
