Account "Buffer Zone," Minimum Balance, Drawdown (DD), and End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown

plus icon

At Fast Track Trading (FTT), our system of buffer zones, minimum balances, drawdown limits, and End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown ensures traders can engage with the market responsibly while protecting their capital. These mechanisms are essential in promoting long-term sustainability for both traders and the firm. This article explains how each of these terms works under the new payout policy and how they interact with each other to shape trading behavior.

1. Buffer Zone Explained

Each FTT account comes with a built-in buffer zone, which is the profit target a trader must reach to become eligible for a payout. The buffer zone is equal to 5% of the account size and represents the profit threshold that must be achieved before withdrawals can begin.

Here’s how the buffer works for each account type:

Example:
A trader with a LeMans account ($300,000 size) must reach a buffer of $15,000 (bringing their total balance to $315,000) before they become eligible for a payout. This buffer ensures that traders have established sufficient profits before withdrawing any funds.

2. Minimum Balance for Withdrawals

Once traders reach their buffer and request a payout, they must maintain a minimum balance in their account, both before and after the withdrawal. These minimum balances vary depending on whether it’s the first payout or a subsequent payout.

First Payout:

  • To qualify for the first payout, traders must reach the buffer zone.
  • After the first payout, traders can withdraw into the buffer zone, but the remaining balance must meet certain thresholds.

Subsequent Payouts:

  • After the first payout, the minimum balance to withdraw becomes slightly lower, allowing more flexibility for withdrawals.

These rules ensure that traders maintain enough funds in their accounts to continue trading responsibly after withdrawals.

3. Drawdown (DD) Limits

The drawdown limit (DD) is the maximum loss a trader can experience before the account is disabled. The drawdown limit is based on 5% of the account size and ensures that traders remain within controlled risk parameters.

Here are the drawdown limits for each account type:

Example:
A GT account ($150,000 size) has a drawdown limit of $7,500. If the account balance falls to $142,500 due to losses, the account will be disabled to prevent further losses.

4. End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown: A Dynamic Moving Buffer

The End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown introduces a dynamic component to the drawdown system. This feature means that the drawdown limit moves upwards as a trader earns profits, providing flexibility and acting as a safety net.

  • The EOD drawdown shifts higher as traders generate profits.
  • However, traders must make back the amount of drawdown before it moves back up to act as a buffer again.

Here’s how it works:

  • Initial Drawdown: The drawdown limit starts as 5% of the account size. For example, on a LeMans account, the initial drawdown is $15,000.
  • Dynamic Buffer: As the trader’s balance grows (e.g., from $300,000 to $320,000), the drawdown limit moves upwards, adjusting to new highs.
  • Drawdown Recovery: If the trader experiences a loss, the drawdown stays at the higher level until the trader makes up for the losses. For example, if the trader’s balance drops to $310,000, the EOD drawdown remains at $285,000 until the trader recovers those losses and brings the balance back to $320,000 or higher.

How EOD Drawdown, Buffer, and DD Work Together

The End-of-Day Drawdown, buffer zone, and fixed drawdown limits work together to protect traders from excessive losses while allowing flexibility to grow their accounts. Here’s how these components interact:

  1. Buffer Zone: Acts as the profit target (5% of the account size) that unlocks payouts.
  1. Minimum Balance: Ensures traders maintain enough capital after withdrawals to continue trading.
  1. Fixed Drawdown Limit: Represents the maximum loss before the account is disabled.
  1. End-of-Day Drawdown: Moves with the trader’s profits and serves as a dynamic safety net that can increase as profits grow but requires recovery after losses.

Payout Process and EOD Drawdown Example

Here’s how these rules would apply to a LeMans account:

  • Account Size: $300,000
  • Buffer Zone: $15,000 (5% of the account size)
  • Initial Drawdown: $285,000

If the trader grows their account to $315,000, they can withdraw up to $4,000, maintaining the minimum balance of $11,000 after the withdrawal. As profits increase (e.g., account balance grows to $320,000), the EOD drawdown will move higher. However, if the trader then incurs losses, dropping their balance to $310,000, the drawdown limit will stay at $285,000 until the trader recovers those losses.

How does FTT Handle KYC (Know Your Customer)

plus icon

What Is FTT’s Payout Policy?

plus icon

Payouts are the most important part of trading as it rewards us for our efforts and allow us to sustain our lifestyle. To this end, Fast Track Trading strives to deliver the most attractive and flexible payout terms in the industry. Payouts are both tiered and structured and have 2 phases:

  • 5 Day Payout
    • Upon purchasing a new account(s), traders can receive a payout in as little as 5 days by achieving a daily profit of 20% of their profit buffer.
    • For example, if a trader has opted for a Rally account, their buffer zone is $1500. To qualify for a 5-day payment they’d need to earn at least $300 per day.
    • After these 5 days of consecutively profitable trade, traders will be allowed to withdraw up to $1,000 per account.
    • Account Max Withdrawals for 5 Day Payout:
      • Rally – $1000
      • Daytona -$1250
      • GT – $1500
      • LeMans – $2,000
    • 5 Day Payouts are available to traders on their first account(s) purchases only. Further purchases will be subject to the 10-day payout schedule.
  • 10 Day Payout
    • Subsequently, if a trader takes a payout after 5 days, they will be eligible for payouts every 10 trading days after that (a trading is any day where the profit or loss exceeds a certain threshold, demonstrating meaningful market engagement).
    • *** Real Trading Days Required
    • *** The 20% consistency rule applies
    • *** Account buffer achieved
    • Account Max Withdrawals for 10  Day Payout:
      • Rally – $1500
      • Daytona – $2000
      • GT – $3000
      • LeMans - $4000
  • What if a Trader doesn’t opt for a payout in 5 days?
    • If a trader wishes to keep profits in their account to further accrue their balance and forfeit the 5 day payout option, they would roll into the 10 day payout cycle.
    • Said differently, if a trader decides to forgo or is ineligible for the 5 day payout, they would only need to trade 5 more days (for a total of 10) to qualify for a payout within the 10 day payout timeframe.

What Is the Minimum Withdrawal Amount?

plus icon

The minimum withdrawal amount is $250

What Withdrawal Methods Are Allowed?

plus icon

Withdrawals are processed through our payment partner Rise and can be via ACH, Wire, Crypto. Additional methods are being considered and will be added as demand for them increases.

Can I Take Hedging Positions?

plus icon

No. Hedging is not allowed as per CME rules.

Do Consistency Rules Apply?

plus icon

Yes. Consistency is the found stone of Fast Track Trading’s mission and our goal is to create an environment that garners profitable trading and regular payouts for our users. Generally speaking, as there is no evaluation phase of our programs, a trader cannot exceed more than 20% of their total profits in a single trading session.

More details regarding consistency rules for payouts can be found in the “Payouts & Withdrawals” section.

How Can I Become a Live Trader?

plus icon

Becoming a Live trader is widely considered the major league of proprietary futures trading. Being graduated into a firms Live Trading desk is often a signature of consistency, profitability and success in trading and at Fast Track Trading, this distinction is no different. But, where we separate ourselves from the industry is how we single out traders who achieve this hallmark – we do so through a highly proprietary set of metrics to ensure that traders have what it takes in terms of risk management, money management, market mechanics and “feel”.

At face value, it takes about 60-75 days from the time a trader begins their journey with us until we ascertain their ability to trade at the highest level. From their perspective, if they receive 5 consecutive payments, have a positive account balance and no account resets, (at the time of Live account conversion) we will deposit the aggregate of all profits into a live trading account in their name.

How much Are Commissions?

plus icon

There are no commissions of any kind in any account class until traders are graduated into Live trading.

Is News Trading Allowed?

plus icon

Yes! News trading is allowed during all announcements such as FOMC, CPI and NFP although Fast Track Trading urges caution when doing so as the markets can be highly volatile during these timeframes.

Is There A Daily Loss Limit?

plus icon

No. Fast Track Trading does no implement daily loss limits on traders.

Is There A Maximum Loss Limit?

plus icon
Max Drawdown

The maximum drawdown is calculated based on your current balance, including your profits. It’s always set at -5% of your current balance. For example:

  • When you first recieve your account, your maximum drawdown is $2,500, therefore making your minimum balance $47,500.
  • If your account balance is $50,000 and you make $2,500, bringing your balance to $52,500, your new drawdown limit is $50,000.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage your account, achieve consistent profits, and successfully request payouts. For more details on other account types, check out our articles on the Rally, Daytona, GT, and LeMans accounts.

What is FTT’s Drawdown Policy?

plus icon

Fast Track Trading uses an EOD (End of Day) drawdown policy that trails based on closed profits for each trading day and employs a Max Loss Limit of trading accounts starting balance. If the account has a losing the day, the drawdown will not move up or down, it will stay static. Drawdown only moves if a day is overall profitable. The drawdown will lock to the starting account balance once enough profits have been made in the account.
