Trade The Pool 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
Our reading
It rises tick by tick, while you trade
“In order to ensure you build up an adequate buffer and stay trading for a longer period, once the account has reached 3 x DLs in equity (i.e., “projected balance” including unrealized profits) the max drawdown for the account will move to the initial balance, going below which will result in the account being terminated.”rules page · tradethepool.com/program-terms/ · 2026-08-04 · saved copy

What taking a payout does to the limit
Our reading
Nothing — the limit stays where it was
“It is permitted to bypass this by withdrawing prior to reaching this threshold, but be aware that building a buffer is the preferred model and that the move is performed instantly based on intraday projected balance. Please note, however, that once the account scales, the Max Loss is automatically set to the initial balance regardless of the withdrawal status.”rules page · tradethepool.com/program-terms/ · 2026-08-04 · saved copy
