Both plans use an End-of-Day (EoD) Trailing Maximum Drawdown.
Plan | EoD Max Drawdown |
Standard | 3% |
Premium | 4% |
The drawdown floor starts below your initial account balance. At EST/EDT 17:00, it moves upward when your account records a new highest end-of-day equity or balance.
The floor:
Can move up, but never down.
Stops trailing when it reaches your initial account balance.
Becomes permanently fixed once it reaches that level.
Standard example
A $100,000 Standard account has a 3% EoD Max Drawdown.
Your initial floor is $97,000.
If your account closes at $101,000 at EST/EDT 17:00, the floor moves to $98,000. If it later closes at $103,000, the floor reaches $100,000 and locks there permanently.
What happens after a payout?
After you withdraw a payout, the Max Drawdown floor moves to the initial balance ceiling at the start of the next cycle and remains fixed there.
