Standard vs Benchmark Reset
| Feature | Standard Reset | Benchmark Reset |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Balance | Initial account balance | Initial account balance |
| Benchmark Progress | Reset to 0 (Level 1) | Up to 4 Benchmarks restored |

- Preserve Drawdown Balance Add-On
Available only with a Benchmark Reset. The new account starts with a higher initial balance so the trailing drawdown is already covered, allowing the trader to focus directly on Daily (Intraday accounts) and Weekly (Swing accounts) Profit Targets and Benchmarks.
