Main rule to understand first
End-of-day drawdown calculates off closed equity only, traders who rely on unrealized profit cushions during the day can be caught out if they don't bank profits before the daily reset.
How the drawdown works
Drawdown is recalculated at the session close using that day's closing balance. Intraday swings don't shift the drawdown line, only losing sessions do. This gives discretionary traders more room to sit through heat before a trade resolves. End-of-day drawdown based on closed equity. The drawdown line trails daily close until it reaches the initial balance, then locks static. Intraday unrealized profit does not move the line.
Worked example, $25K Evaluation: starting balance $25,000, max loss $1,500, profit target $1,500. A losing session drops the drawdown line by the session loss; intraday swings don't move it. This gives you room to manage heat mid-session.

What to check before buying
- Drawdown fits your style: Good for discretionary traders willing to sit through heat, less good if you want a hard intraday stop.
- Consistency rule: Don't let a single day exceed 50% of your lifetime profit, or the payout will be delayed until more days rebalance the distribution.
- Minimum trading days: You'll need at least 5 trading days before a payout is eligible.
- No overnight holds: Flatten every position by session close. If you trade a swing style, this firm may not fit.
- Max contracts per tier: Contract caps scale by account size, check the $25K Evaluation cap (3) before planning position size.
