Drawdown — The Single Most Important Difference

Fundednext uses EOD-trailing + lock while Tradeify uses EOD-trailing (no lock). Your risk approach needs to adjust when switching.

Fundednext

EOD-trailing + lock

MLL trails up at end-of-day until it reaches starting balance, then locks permanently. Intraday drops don't reset. Most-protective futures mechanic.

Tradeify

EOD-trailing (no lock)

MLL trails end-of-day equity-high with no lock. Pure trailing-up.
