Shark Futures uses an End of Day (EOD) Trailing Max Drawdown system across all account types. Understanding how drawdown works — and how it differs between Basic, Basic Plus, and PRO accounts — is essential before you start trading.
How EOD Trailing Drawdown Works
Your drawdown floor is based on your highest end-of-day balance, not your intraday peak. It trails upward as your balance grows, but never moves down.
Example: You start with $50K. After Day 1 you close at $52,000. Your new drawdown floor becomes $50,000 ($52,000 − $2,000 drawdown allowance). Once your floor reaches your starting balance, it locks there permanently — you can never be stopped out from profit alone.
Basic Accounts — Drawdown Limits
Basic accounts have no daily loss limit. Risk is managed entirely through the EOD trailing drawdown.
Account Size | Trailing Max Drawdown (EOD) |
$25K | $1,000 |
$50K | $2,000 |
$100K | $3,000 |
$150K | $4,500 |
Basic Plus Accounts — Drawdown Limits + Daily Loss Limit
Basic Plus accounts have both an EOD trailing drawdown and a Daily Loss Limit. If either is breached, the account fails.
Account Size | Trailing Max Drawdown (EOD) | Daily Loss Limit |
$25K | $1,000 | $600 |
$50K | $2,000 | $1,250 |
$100K | $3,500 | $2,500 |
$150K | $5,000 | $3,750 |
PRO Funded Accounts — Drawdown Limits
PRO accounts use the same EOD trailing drawdown structure. There is no daily loss limit on funded accounts.
Account Size | Trailing Max Drawdown (EOD) |
$25K | $1,000 |
$50K | $2,000 |
$100K | $3,000 |
$150K | $4,500 |
