The EOD Trailing Max Loss
How the EOD Trailing Max Loss works — a trailing drawdown that updates once per day, at the end of the trading day. The percentage varies by account type.
The EOD Trailing Max Loss is a drawdown limit that sits below your end-of-day high watermark. It moves up once a day, so intraday spikes don't shift it — only your end-of-day value does.
ℹ️ The percentage is set by your account type. Check the article for your account, or your Dashboard.
How it works
Your high watermark is the highest end-of-day value your account has recorded. At the end of each day the system takes the higher of your balance or equity — if it beats the current high watermark, the limit recalculates:
EOD Trailing Max Loss = HWM − (HWM × your allowance)The high watermark only ever moves up. Losses never lower it — they just narrow the gap to your limit.
If your balance or equity falls below the limit at any point, the account is terminated. Because the limit rises with your account, you can be terminated while still above your starting balance. Your current limit is shown on your Dashboard.
At payout
The withdrawal is deducted from your high watermark and the limit recalculates, so your full buffer is preserved — taking profits doesn't cost you trading room.
Examples
Both use a 5% allowance.
Closing a profitable day. You start at $50,000, so your limit is $47,500. You close the day at $51,000 — the high watermark rises and your limit becomes $48,450. You can now lose $2,550 before termination.
Taking a payout. Your high watermark is $54,000 and your limit is $51,300. You withdraw $3,000, so the high watermark drops to $51,000 and the limit becomes $48,450 — still a 5% buffer.
