How prop firm drawdown works

Check three things: when the loss floor moves, when a breach is checked and whether the floor stops trailing. An EOD floor can still be breached by an open loss during the session.

The groups below summarize the products covered in each review. A firm's accounts can differ by size, option and phase. Open the review for the exact account rules and their sources.

An open loss can breach an EOD floor

Topstep and Tradeify move their EOD floor after the session but monitor losses against it while you trade. If the account touches that floor intraday, a later recovery does not undo the breach.

For example, Topstep's $50K Combine starts with a $48,000 floor. If a day closes at $51,500, the floor rises to $49,500. During the next session, an open loss that takes equity to $49,500 reaches the limit. See Topstep's MLL rule and Tradeify's drawdown rule. Other plans can check breaches differently.

Check the product and account phase

Plan-specific

A firm can use different drawdown rules in its evaluation, simulated funded and live accounts. An optional setting or another product line can change the rule again.

Match the exact account and phase. A firm-level EOD or static label can hide the rule you will actually trade.

EOD trailing with a lock

EOD · Lock

The floor rises with the highest end-of-day balance until it reaches a specified level. It then stops trailing. The lock level and trigger depend on the account; a payout can trigger a lock on some plans.

A lock fixes the loss floor. It does not protect the account from losses or make the nominal account balance withdrawable.

EOD trailing: confirm the lock terms

EOD · Check the lock

The floor moves upward after a new end-of-day high and does not fall after a losing session. EOD describes when the floor moves, not when a breach is checked.

Check whether the floor later locks, where it locks and what a payout changes. Missing lock information does not mean the floor trails forever.

Intraday trailing

Intraday · Trails high

The floor can rise during the session as the account reaches a new high. Where unrealized profit counts, a winning open trade can raise the floor before that profit is secured.

Check whether the calculation uses balance or equity. Track the distance to the current floor while a position is open.

Static or fixed drawdown

Static floor

The overall loss floor is set from the starting balance and does not follow each new profit high. A separate daily loss limit can still apply.

Confirm the balance or equity used to check a breach, and whether a payout or a new account phase changes the floor.
