The EOD trailing drawdown, worked through

Your floor moves at the close — never on an intraday high.

Updated 2026-07-09

Every account here uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown. Your loss floor ratchets up when your end-of-day balance sets a new high — and only then. Intraday highs never move it.

A worked example

Take the 100K PRO: start balance $100,000, max loss limit $3,000.

DayWhat happensFloor after the close
0Account opens$97,000
1Close at $101,500$98,500
2Spike to $103,200 intraday, close at $100,700$98,500 — unchanged

Day 2 is the whole point. On an intraday-trailing account, that spike would have dragged the floor up behind your open winner and liquidated you on the give-back. Here the floor waits for the close, so managing a winner is a trading decision, not a rule trap.

Heads up

The floor itself is enforced in real time. If open equity touches it at any moment, the account is breached — the EOD part is about when the floor moves, not when it applies.

On funded Pro and Direct accounts the floor stops trailing entirely once you bank enough profit — see “The buffer” in Funded Accounts.
