Take Profit Trader: Trailing drawdown — EOD (Test) flips to intraday (PRO)
▶Take Profit Trader Trailing Drawdown: Test vs PRO Rules — 47s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
On the Test eval the trailing max-loss is computed on END-OF-DAY balance (5 PM ET), so intraday swings are safe. The moment you're funded on PRO it trails INTRADAY on unrealized highs — a spike you don't bank still ratchets the floor up. PRO+ returns to EOD. The floor locks once it reaches your original starting balance.
The gotcha
The Test→PRO switch from EOD to intraday trailing is the single biggest account-killer — traders who pass on EOD often blow up in week one of PRO because giving back unrealized profit now counts against the floor.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
