Max EOD Trailing Drawdown

Detailed explanation of the Max End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown and its importance

Updated this week

The Max End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown is a risk management feature designed to help traders control their potential losses while providing flexibility as they generate profits. The EOD drawdown is calculated based on the peak balance of the account and adjusts upward as profits are earned. The trailing drawdown locks in at $100 above the initial balance once profits reach a certain threshold, giving traders a cushion to continue their trading activities.

Key Reminders

  • The trailing drawdown is only adjusted at the end of each trading day β€” it does not track intraday highs.

  • It is calculated using a fixed trailing amount specific to your plan type.

  • Once the profit threshold is reached, the drawdown locks in place permanently.

  • This system is designed to reduce stress from intraday fluctuations while promoting disciplined trading.
