Question 1

What is the difference between EOD and intraday trailing drawdown?

Accepted Answer

End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown only updates at market close. Your drawdown floor moves up only when you end the day at a new high. Intraday trailing drawdown updates tick-by-tick during the session — any intraday high watermark raises the floor immediately. EOD is more forgiving because temporary spikes during the session don't affect your drawdown.

Question 2

How does trailing drawdown work in PropFirm accounts?

Accepted Answer

Trailing drawdown starts at a fixed distance below your initial balance (e.g., $3,000 below on a $150K Topstep account). As your account balance grows, the drawdown floor trails upward with it. Once the floor reaches your initial balance, it locks there permanently. If your balance ever drops to the drawdown floor, your account is terminated.
