Maven Trading funded rules: 8% trailing, 4% daily and the 20% check
Three rules appear when a Maven account is funded, and the 20% rule is the one that blocks withdrawals. Each rule, its consequence for a systematic strategy, and a worked example.
The three rules that arrive with funding
| Rule | Maven funded account | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Trailing limit | 8% from the highest floating equity, so open profit that is given back counts | size against the worst intraday excursion |
| Daily limit | 4% daily EOD limit activates once funded | multi-position days need a book-level cap |
| Consistency | 20%: biggest winning day divided by total profit, checked before each withdrawal | at least five similar-sized days per cycle |
| Payout cadence | every 10 business days, $20 minimum | a two-week cycle; a lumpy strategy skips cycles |
| Split | 80% | — |
| Automation | prohibited | alert-driven manual execution only |
A worked example
A $100,000 funded account earns $5,000 in a 10-business-day cycle with a best day of $1,500: 30%, blocked. The same $5,000 spread over ten days of $500: 10%, paid. The fix is not size (the ratio does not change with size) but distribution: cap the daily profit at roughly a fifth of the expected cycle result, or accept that withdrawals arrive every second cycle. The trailing limit compounds this: a day that reached $1,500 of floating profit and closed at $500 has moved the floor $1,500 higher for good.

FAQ
How does the Maven 20% rule work?
The biggest winning day divided by total profit must be at or below 20% before each withdrawal. A $5,000 cycle with a $1,500 best day is 30% and blocked; ten days of $500 is 10% and paid.
Is the Maven funded drawdown static?
No. Evaluations are static; funded accounts run an 8% trailing limit from the highest floating equity.
