CFD Classic: 4% daily and 7% maximum drawdown (trailing on highest equity), 10% profit target. Other CFD programs have different drawdown types (equity-based, balance-based, static or EOD-trailing). Check the program parameters before you buy. Leveraged CFDs carry a high risk of losing money and you can lose all fees paid.
