Trading Statement Guide
A trading statement is a precise, essential report that captures every detail of your performance throughout the challenge. It helps you evaluate results and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your trading strategies. On the SDF platform, the statement functions as a tool for in-depth analysis of your trading statistics and fully displays information such as profit and loss, risk level, the number of winning and losing trades, and changes in your account balance.
The trading statement not only shows how much profit or loss you have realized, but also lets you review your trading trajectory over time and make better decisions for future trades. In practice, it is a vital tool for risk management and performance optimization during the challenge. These data help you assess your results based on real metrics—without emotions or guesswork—and continuously improve your strategies.
This section shows your overall challenge status—what stage you are in and how far you have progressed toward your goal.
This section summarizes profit, loss, and drawdown during the challenge, giving you a clear view of the account’s overall condition.
The chart visualizes your account balance fluctuations over the course of the challenge. It provides a clearer view of uptrends or drawdowns so you can see where the biggest changes occurred and fine-tune your trading strategies accordingly.

Guide to the Trading Market Page Components
The Trading Market page in the SDF platform includes various tools and sections that let you analyze the market, place orders, manage open positions, and review your financial performance. This guide introduces the main components of the page in a comprehensive way.
At the center of the page, you’ll find the chart for the selected crypto pair (e.g., BTC/USDT). It helps you track price movements across different timeframes (e.g., 5-minute, hourly, daily, etc.).
On the right side of the chart, there is an order panel where you can set the order type, buy/sell size, leverage, and your desired price. This is the starting point of your trades.
This area contains two key subsections—Assets and Challenge Status—that display your financial information and your current progress within the challenge.
The Positions section lists all currently active trades. The table includes key details to help you manage your positions.
Use Market to close the position instantly at the best available price. This is useful for quick exits in volatile conditions, when your profit target is reached, or to cap potential losses. Click the Market button in the Close Position by column.
Select Limit to close at a specific price. The Close Limit window includes:
After clicking Close Limit, the order remains pending until the market reaches your price. If the market never touches that level, the order will not execute—so choose realistic levels.
Use Close All to exit all open positions simultaneously—typically for emergencies or extreme volatility. A confirmation dialog appears:
Are you sure that you want to close all your open positions? This action can’t be undone.
Important: This action is irreversible. Make sure you truly want to proceed.
The Orders tab shows all orders you have placed that are not yet filled. These are typically Limit or Stop orders waiting for market conditions to match your criteria.
Contains a complete record of your past trades—essential for performance analysis, spotting mistakes, identifying strengths, and journaling.
This tab is a key oversight tool, showing all funds moving in and out of your account and any balance changes with precise timestamps and categorization. You can see what happened, when it happened, and why your balance changed.

help-center > Drawdowns
Complete Guide to Drawdown in SDF Trading
For professional traders and investors, risk management is the key to success and drawdown is one of the most important tools in that journey. In SDF, drawdown is not only a core capital-preservation rule, it is also a pivotal metric when presenting a transparent trading statement in challenges and live accounts. This statement demonstrates disciplined risk control and financial order. Below, we explain daily and overall drawdown in clear, practical terms so you understand how these rules work and why they are vital for success in the SDF prop environment.
Drawdown refers to the decrease in your account caused by trading losses. In SDF there are two kinds of drawdown rules: Daily Drawdown and Overall Drawdown. These rules are designed to ensure you manage risk precisely and avoid large losses.
Key Point: Daily and overall drawdown are evaluated separately. Breaching either limit violates the rules and results in loss of the account.
The daily drawdown is the maximum loss your account may incur during a single trading day. It equals 5% of your Daily Balance (the balance at the start of the trading day). The Daily Balance is updated every night at 23:00 (platform time) in your account assets.
Important: This rule prevents large single-day losses. Always ensure your Balance/Equity stays above the 5% threshold.
The overall drawdown is the maximum loss your account can tolerate from the start (Initial Balance). It is 10% of the initial balance and, unlike the daily rule, is tied to your initial balance baseline.
Reminder: Even if the overall drawdown is respected, breaching the daily drawdown still results in account closure.
Important: The overall drawdown is always calculated from the initial balance baseline (the percentage allowance may step up with profits, but the reference remains the initial balance).
Relative Drawdown measures the percentage decline from your account’s highest balance to a subsequent low.
It helps you understand the risk of your strategy relative to your current capital and provides a clearer picture of strategy stability.
In SDF: Relative drawdown does not cause an account breach. It is an auxiliary performance and risk-management metric, not part of pass/fail rules in challenges.
Relative DD (%) = (Peak Balance − Current Equity) ÷ Peak Balance × 100
