A static (or fixed) drawdown sets the floor at a set distance below your starting balance and leaves it there. On a $100,000 FTMO account a 10% static maximum loss puts the floor at $90,000 regardless of how much profit you make.
Static drawdowns are the more forgiving model once you are in profit: the floor never chases your gains, so every dollar you bank widens the gap between your equity and the line.
