How we selected these firms
- The firm’s main program uses trailing intraday drawdown (verified on the firm’s rules).
- Products with a different model are still shown in the per-product table with their own model.
How trailing intraday drawdown works
With a trailing intraday (real-time) drawdown, the floor follows the highest equity your account reaches, including unrealised profit on open trades. If a trade is up $800 and you let it come back to break-even, the floor has still moved up $800.
This is the hardest model to manage, because every intraday peak tightens the account. Most firms stop the trailing once the floor reaches the starting balance (or a buffer above it).
Worked example on a real account
Take Elite Trader Funding 50K 1 Step: $50,000 starting balance and $2,000 maximum drawdown, profit target $3,000. Below is a hypothetical four-day path (the trades are invented; the account rules are real). The last three columns show where the floor sits during each day under each model.
Under trailing intraday drawdown this path fails on day 4: the day’s low of $49,300 reaches the floor of $49,600.
The damage is done on day 3: the open-profit peak pulls the floor up even though the day closes much lower.
| Day | High | Low | Close | Intraday floor | EOD floor | Static floor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | $50,800 | $50,100 | $50,600 | $48,800 | $48,000 | $48,000 |
| Day 2 | $51,100 | $50,500 | $51,000 | $49,100 | $48,600 | $48,000 |
| Day 3 | $51,600 | $50,300 | $50,400 | $49,600 | $49,000 | $48,000 |
| Day 4 | $50,500 | $49,300 | $49,400 | $49,600 hit | $49,000 | $48,000 |
Which firms use it
7 of 78 firms (9%) use trailing intraday drawdown on their main program: 6 of 28 Futures firms, 1 of 42 Forex & CFD firms, 0 of 7 Crypto firms. A firm can use a different model on individual products or on the funded account; the table shows the model per product.
How to trade this model
Practical points:
- Use stops close to entries; letting a winner run back to break-even costs room permanently.
- Trade fewer contracts until the floor has locked.
- Check whether the funded account switches to end-of-day trailing, which some firms do.
FAQ
What is trailing intraday drawdown?
With a trailing intraday (real-time) drawdown, the floor follows the highest equity your account reaches, including unrealised profit on open trades. If a trade is up $800 and you let it come back to break-even, the floor has still moved up $800.
Which drawdown type is easiest to pass?
Static is the easiest to plan, end-of-day trailing is usually the most forgiving trailing model, and trailing intraday is the strictest because open profit moves the floor. The profit target and daily loss limit also matter.
Does the drawdown stop trailing?
At most firms the trailing floor stops (locks) at the starting balance or a small buffer above it. The trigger differs per firm; see our guide to the drawdown lock.
Is the funded account drawdown the same as in the evaluation?
Often, but not always. Some firms switch from intraday to end-of-day trailing (or the reverse) on funded accounts. The firm page shows a separate funded drawdown when we verified one.
