TradeDay: Trailing max drawdown (intraday / EOD / static)
▶TradeDay Trailing Drawdown Rule: Lose on a Winning Trade — 45s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Choose at purchase from three types: Intraday TMD (trails your peak intraday equity, including open-trade highs), EOD TMD (trails realized profit at the 16:00 CT close — doesn't follow intraday spikes), or Static. Dollar amounts: $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 for $50K / $100K / $150K. All trailing variants trail up only until the line reaches your starting balance, then freeze permanently as a static floor at the starting balance.
The gotcha
On the Intraday option an unrealized spike raises your floor and a pullback can breach you without ever realizing the profit; the EOD option avoids this.
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.
