All 10-Four Base evaluation and funded accounts operate under an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model to determine the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
At the close of each trading session:
The system records your highest closing balance
The MLL trails upward as your account grows
Once the account exceeds the Initial Trail Balance, the MLL locks and no longer moves
If a payout is requested, the MLL automatically adjusts to the Locked MLL Balance.
If your account balance reaches the MLL at any time, the account is breached.
Drawdown Structure
Account Size | MLL Amount | Initial Trail Balance | Locked MLL Balance |
$25,000 | $1,000 | $26,000 | $25,000 |
$50,000 | $2,000 | $52,000 | $50,000 |
$100,000 | $3,000 | $103,000 | $100,000 |
$150,000 | $4,500 | $154,500 | $150,000 |
How It Works
The MLL is based on end-of-day closing balance, not intraday equity swings.
The MLL increases as your account closes at new highs.
Once your account closes above the Initial Trail Balance, the MLL locks at the starting balance.
After locking, the MLL does not move higher.
This structure rewards account growth while maintaining defined and transparent risk control parameters.
