Welcome to The Drawdown Game

This game lets you live through one of the most misunderstood rules in prop trading: drawdown.

You'll get entered into a random NQ trade on a $50K account with a $2,000 loss limit. Then you'll watch your trade play out in real time — and learn how each prop firm rule treats your trade differently.

What you'll learn:

  • How EOD vs Intraday rules behave
  • The Sophie trap (losing your account while you're up money)
  • When to lock in profit vs. let it run
  • How to read the firm's monitor like a pro

How to Read the Game

Hover over any stat label to see what it means. The chart shows your equity (blue/green/pink line) and the firm's loss line (dashed pink). Watch them move in real time during your trade.

Watch the coaching tips that appear during the trade — they'll teach you what to look out for. The status dot at the bottom changes color: green is safe, gold is warning, pink is critical.

The "Sophie trap" to watch for: on intraday rule, when you're up big, the line ratchets up behind you. Holding too long lets the line trap you on the pullback. This is the #1 killer of funded accounts.
