One of the most important mechanics to understand on a Solo Clash account is how the drawdown floor behaves as your profits grow.
The floor does not just protect you from losses — it locks in your gains permanently once a threshold is reached.
The Trailing Phase
In accounts where the trailing drawdown applies (Limitless, Legacy Evaluation, and Express for both programs), the floor rises in step with your account balance. Every time you close a day at a new high, the floor moves up with it.
This means the better you trade, the more protected you become.
A strong run of profitable days pushes the floor upward, reducing the amount of your profits that can be lost before the account is breached.
When the Floor Locks
The trailing stops — and the floor becomes permanent — once your account balance has grown by the drawdown threshold above your initial balance.
4% accounts (Legacy Express Eval, Limitless Starter and Lite): Floor locks once you reach 4% profit above your initial balance
3% accounts (Limitless Pro and Max): Floor locks once you reach 3% profit above your initial balance
At that point, the floor is fixed permanently at:
Initial Account Balance + $100
It does not move further — up or down — for the remainder of your Express or Live phases.
A Practical Example
$50,000 Limitless account (4% trailing drawdown):
Stage | Account Balance | Drawdown Floor |
Account opens | $50,000 | $48,000 |
After strong week | $51,000 | $49,000 (trailing) |
Floor locks at 4% profit | $52,100 | $50,100 (locked) |
After further profits | $55,000 | $50,100 (unchanged) |
Once locked at $50,100, that floor holds permanently — through Express, through Live, regardless of subsequent drawdowns.
Why This Matters
The locked floor at initial balance + $100 means that once you have traded well enough to trigger the lock, you can never lose more than $100 above your original starting balance on that account. Your downside is permanently contained, and all profits above that floor are yours to withdraw.
This is why building profits steadily in the Express Phase pays off beyond just the payouts themselves.
