FTMO Futures now states the Max Drawdown on its Live program, which was previously not published. It is the only trading objective on Live, and it trails end of day: it rises with the closing balance and locks permanently once it reaches the Initial Capital.
The amounts, for 50K / 100K / 150K, are $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000 on Growth and $3,000 / $4,500 / $6,000 on Pro. The Live account starts with an Initial Capital equal to its Max Drawdown amount, and the Safety Net is the same amount.
Full rules are on the FTMO firm page.
