Prop firms with static drawdown: the 2026 list
A static floor never chases your equity up. For some strategy styles that single property is worth a higher price tag, and a handful of programs sell exactly that.

Static drawdown fixes the floor below the starting balance and leaves it there, the comparison against trailing models in trailing vs static vs daily loss. Once the account is meaningfully green, the buffer is effectively enormous, which is the entire appeal.
Where static lives in 2026
On the futures side, static appears mostly as a premium variant: Apex has offered static-drawdown account types alongside its trailing flagship, and several smaller futures programs, Bulenox among the examples worth checking (guide), sell static or fixed-floor options at higher eval prices. On the forex-CFD side the structure is the norm rather than the exception: the classic two-phase programs, FTMO and FundingPips style, use fixed maximum-loss floors plus a daily cap rather than a US-futures trailing model, covered in the FTMO guide and the FTMO vs FundingPips comparison.
The price and the fit
Static costs more per account or per reset, and the premium buys forgiveness late in the account's life, not early: at the start, static and trailing floors sit at similar distances. The styles that benefit are the ones whose equity path wobbles after building a cushion, swing holds and multi-day exposure especially, which is exactly the model the swing presets run with hardcoded exits, the instrument side in the instruments guide.

FAQ
Which prop firms offer static drawdown?
On futures, static appears as premium variants at firms like Apex and at several smaller programs such as Bulenox. On the forex-CFD side, fixed maximum-loss floors are the standard model at two-phase firms like FTMO.
Is static drawdown worth the higher price?
If your strategy builds a cushion and then wobbles, yes: the floor never rises into your giveback. For tight intraday styles that flatten at the close, EOD trailing usually achieves the same safety cheaper.
Does static drawdown mean I cannot blow the account?
No. The floor is fixed, not absent. A losing run from the starting balance breaches it exactly like any other model; the forgiveness only appears after equity has grown.
