The account fell $133.37 below the trailing drawdown floor set by its own high-water mark.

What the Trailing Drawdown restricts

The trailing drawdown on this plan ($5,000 MT5 Instant Funding, funded) is 5.0%. The floor is set at 5.0% below the highest equity the account has reached (the high-water mark). Every new high raises the floor, and the floor never comes back down. Starting at $5,000, the floor began at $4,750.00; by the time of the breach the high-water mark was $5,002.66 and the floor $4,752.53.

The rule is measured on equity: closed trades plus the floating result of positions still open. It is a hard rule; one touch of the floor closes the account, whatever the account has earned before.

The balance path and the floor

The table below follows the account from the initial balance through every closed trade, with the high-water mark and the floor recomputed after each one. The row where the floor was crossed is highlighted.

Equity against the floor

The blue line is the balance after each closed trade; the red dashed line is the floor, rising with the gold high-water mark line. The red point marks the breach.

Equity on every server tick: the lowest point of the day

We recomputed the account equity on every price tick the TTT MT5 server stored, from the account's own deals (deposits, every entry and exit, commission, swap). A BUY is valued at bid and a SELL at ask, exactly as MT5 does. This is not an estimate and not a minute sample: below is the exact millisecond of the day's lowest equity, the prices at that moment and the positions that were open.

Every price checked against the real XAU/USD market record

To rule out a data error or an off-market price, the entry and exit price of each position was compared with the independent 1-minute candles of XAU/USD from the Dolvero WebTrader quote record (TraderMade feed). A price is confirmed when it falls inside the high–low range of the candle for its minute (spread tolerance applied). Result: 11 of 12 prices confirmed.

Why the breach stands

We have looked at the points that usually come up on a review like this and addressed each one directly and fairly.

• The rule is objective and numeric. It compares equity with a floor computed from the plan's percentage. It does not assess intent or style.
• Profits raise the floor, they do not create a cushion below the start. A trailing floor follows the high-water mark upward: the +$2.66 the account had earned lifted the floor from $4,750.00 to $4,752.53. That is the protection the rule gives the capital provider, and it is how the rule is published and enforced.
• Open positions count. The floor is measured on equity, so a floating loss on a position still open at the moment of the check counts. A position that later recovers does not undo a breach that already occurred.
