Option to Switch Max Drawdown Calculation Method (Static vs Trailing)

Hello Forex Tester Support Team,

Thank you for your continued work on the Prop Challenge Mode.

I would like to request a possible feature improvement regarding the Max Total Loss calculation.

Currently, the system appears to use a trailing-style drawdown logic, where the maximum loss is calculated based on the peak account balance rather than the initial balance.

However, in many prop firm models (such as Fintokei-style rules), a fixed drawdown model is used instead, where the loss limit is based on the initial account balance and does not continuously trail the equity peak.

For example:

• Starting balance: $100,000

• Max loss: 10% (fixed at $90,000 level)

In such a model, once the account is in profit, traders still prefer a clear and stable reference to the initial drawdown boundary.

Therefore, it would be very helpful if Forex Tester could offer an option to switch between:

1. Static Max Drawdown (initial balance-based)

2. Trailing Max Drawdown (peak balance-based)

This would allow users to simulate different prop firm rules more accurately and improve training flexibility.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best regards,
