Drawdown — The Single Most Important Difference

Breakout uses Static while Fundednext uses EOD-trailing + lock. Your risk approach needs to adjust when switching.

Breakout

Static

Fixed-dollar MLL below starting balance. Never moves. Simplest mental model.

Fundednext

EOD-trailing + lock

MLL trails up at end-of-day until it reaches starting balance, then locks. Intraday drops don't reset.
