If you’ve traded with traditional prop firms before, you might’ve experienced this nightmare:

You’re doing well. You’ve hit a profit high. But then, a single small pullback, and boom your account is disqualified.

You didn’t hit your starting drawdown. You didn’t blow the account.

But because of a dynamic drawdown, your trailing loss limit moved up with your profits… and took your challenge down with it.

At CoinProp, we’ve seen this happen too many times and we’ve had enough.

That’s why we ditched the dynamic model completely.

We chose static drawdown.

Fair. Transparent. Predictable.

Let’s break down why that matters more than most traders realize.

1. What’s a Dynamic Drawdown and Why It Fails Traders

A dynamic drawdown model adjusts your maximum loss limit based on the highest equity your account reaches.

For example:

• You start with a $100,000 challenge.
• You grow it to $105,000.
• Your new maximum loss limit increases possibly to $99,000.
• Then, a natural $2,500 drawdown happens…
• Your equity drops to $102,500… and your account gets breached.

Wait you’re still $2,500 above your starting balance!

But in a dynamic model, that doesn’t matter.

This system punishes traders for performing well. It locks in a floating stop behind your progress and turns normal volatility into a threat.

2. Static Drawdown: A Better Way to Trade with Confidence

At CoinProp, we said enough is enough.

We believe traders deserve to:

• Grow without fear
• Manage risk without traps.
• Take profits and scale positions without losing their progress.

So we implemented a static drawdown model.

✅ Your maximum loss is always calculated from your starting balance

✅ No trailing equity limits

✅ No hidden liquidation traps

✅ Just clean, professional trading conditions

If you start with $100,000 and the max loss is $94,000 — that line never moves, no matter how much you grow. You always know your risk. You can always plan.

3. Why This Matters for Your Mindset (and Results)

Dynamic drawdowns don’t just affect your risk they affect your psychology.

When traders know their account can get hit just because they booked profits, they begin to:

• Avoid smart trades out of fear
• Close winners too early
• Reduce the size when the momentum is in their favor.
• Over-manage entries just to protect a trailing number

In contrast, CoinProp’s static model gives you room to breathe.

It rewards strong setups. It supports healthy pullbacks.

And it helps you focus on the process, not the panic.

4. We’re Not the Only Ones Saying This

Many top traders, even those funded by major prop firms, have spoken out against trailing drawdowns.

It’s not just about fairness. It’s about realism.

Markets breathe. Pullbacks happen.

Punishing traders for doing well isn’t just frustrating, it’s bad risk management.

Our platform was built by traders who lived this. That’s why we made it our mission to fix it.

5. Real Example: CoinProp vs Dynamic Firm

Let’s say you make $7,000 on a $100,000 account, then lose $1,500 in a volatile day.

• In CoinProp:
• → You’re still $5,500 in profit.
• → Your static drawdown is safe.
• → You keep trading.
• In a dynamic model:
• → You might breach a trailing limit and lose your account.
• → Even though you’re profitable overall.

It doesn’t make sense, and that’s why we built a better system.

Conclusion:

You shouldn’t lose your account just because you’re winning.

At CoinProp, our static drawdown model exists for one reason:

To protect traders from unfair stops and reward consistent growth.

We’re not here to trick you out of a challenge.

We’re here to fund skilled traders those who understand risk, trade with intention, and require a platform that respects their process.
