Bigger than the deposit
Verdict: a small advertised deposit can be far below the drawdown already measured for an EA. King TLID's drawdown equals 1,263.04 percent of its 1,000 USD vendor deposit. XAU Accumulator reaches 500.31 percent of 20,000 USD, and Angels Eye reaches 434.22 percent of 1,000 USD.
| Audit | Deposit the audit evaluates on | Drawdown at that deposit |
|---|---|---|
| King TLID | 1,000 USD (vendor) | 1,263.04% |
| Queen TLID | 1,000 USD (vendor) | 1,059.95% |
| XAU Accumulator | 20,000 USD (vendor) | 500.31% |
| Lexicon Pattern | 1,000 USD (our fallback: the vendor names none) | 450.75% |
| Angels Eye | 1,000 USD (vendor) | 434.22% |
| BoomerHang | 1,000 USD (our fallback: the vendor names none) | 432.40% |
All six are free audits, so every number here can be checked on the linked page. Paid audits carry the same table; their drawdown figures belong to the full audit.
What the percentage means
The audit keeps the measured dollar path and expresses its largest drawdown against different account sizes. It does not rerun or resize the trades. A result above 100 percent means the measured drawdown is larger than that account, not that a margin call was observed on it.
Margin is not modeled in this comparison. A small account may fail to open or hold the measured positions, so the small-account rows are optimistic rather than a promise that the same path could be traded.
One drawdown across account sizes
King TLID shows the scale clearly. Its drawdown is 1,263.04 percent of the recommended 1,000 USD deposit, 505.22 percent of 2,500 USD, 252.61 percent of 5,000 USD, 126.30 percent of 10,000 USD, 50.52 percent of 25,000 USD and 12.63 percent of the 100,000 USD test balance.
The same dollar loss looks manageable only as the account grows. The useful comparison is therefore the row closest to the capital you would actually fund, not the calm percentage attached to the largest balance.
Check the sizing before using the table
- Start with the vendor deposit row. It tests the sales claim against the measured drawdown.
- Treat margin as an extra constraint. The table cannot prove that a smaller account could carry the positions.
- Read the lot policy. Lexicon Pattern's lot sizes vary without a single rule, so its fixed-dollar comparison is less reliable than the fixed-lot examples.
