Max Trailing End of Day (EOD) Drawdown is a risk management mechanism used on both Challenge and Instant accounts at HyperTicks. It defines the maximum allowable loss based on your account balance at the end of each trading day. This rule helps promote consistent risk management and protects both the trader and the firm from excessive losses.
📉 What Is Max Trailing EOD Drawdown?
Trailing EOD Drawdown is calculated based on your closed balance at the end of each day. Unlike intraday drawdown rules, it does not monitor floating losses. Instead, it tracks your balance after all trades are closed for the day and adjusts the drawdown level accordingly.
The drawdown "trails" upwards with your end-of-day gains but never reverses or decreases, even if your balance drops later. Once your account reaches a specified profit threshold, the drawdown level locks and stops trailing.
📊 Pro Accounts – Drawdown Structure
Account Size | Max Trailing EOD Drawdown |
$50,000 | $2,000 |
$100,000 | $3,000 |
$150,000 | $4,500 |
Example – $50,000 Pro Account
Initial max drawdown is set at $48,000.
If your end-of-day balance increases to $52,000, your new max drawdown trails to $50,000.
If the next day your balance drops to $51,000, the drawdown remains at $50,000 and does not move backward.
Once your EOD balance reaches $52,100 (4% + $100), your drawdown locks at $50,100 and no longer trails.

📝 Important Notes
Drawdown is calculated based on closed balance, not equity or floating P&L.
Trailing only moves upward, never backward.
Drawdown locks permanently once your EOD balance exceeds the threshold (typically 3–4% + $100 depending on the plan).
After your first payout only whatever the account type, the drawdown locks at initial balance + $100 for all future trading.
