Main rule to understand first
The Advanced program's drawdown trails by end-of-day equity, the line only moves up on closed sessions, so sizing up mid-day without banking profits can leave the drawdown well below your current equity.
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. Advanced program uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown: the drawdown line only steps up based on the session's closing equity, not intraday highs. Straight-to-Funded uses a static drawdown equal to the initial buffer.
Worked example, $25K Advanced: 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 30% 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.
- News trading restricted: Flatten ahead of high-impact US releases, holding through a restricted event is a common evaluation-killer.
- Max contracts per tier: Contract caps scale by account size, check the $25K Advanced cap (3) before planning position size.
