Trading Combine

Drawdown
trailing, end of day in the evaluation · trailing, end of day once fundedThe Maximum Loss Limit rises with the end-of-day balance and never falls, and it locks once it reaches the starting balance. It is watched live during the day on realised and unrealised P&L together.

“The MLL is a trailing limit. It rises as your end-of-day balance grows, but never moves down. Once it reaches your starting balance, it locks permanently.”
“The MLL updates at the end of each trading day but is monitored in real time throughout the session. Both realized and unrealized P&L count toward it. If your Net P&L hits the limit at any point during the day, your account is liquidated immediately.”
NoneNo mandatory daily loss limit in the Combine. One can be added at checkout ($1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 by size), and hitting it pauses trading until the next session rather than breaching the account.

Set by account size, see belowTighter than the headline limits (5/10/15 minis, 50/100/150 micros). Topstep calls the restriction temporary while volatility is elevated, so it needs re-checking.
