TradeDay: Trailing max drawdown (intraday / EOD / static)

ConditionalVoids accountHidden ruleVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

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.
