EOD Dynamic Drawdown refers to the calculation based on your highest achieved balance at the end of the trading day.
Quick Explanation (Read this first)
Your Loss Level rises (at the EOD) only when you close a profit, NOT when your equity increases.
Translation: We count what you keep, not what you almost had.
Once your account reaches a closed profit in the amount of EOD Dynamic Drawdown, the Drawdown locks, becomes fully static, and won't move further anymore.
Note: It updates at the end of the day (not tick‑by‑tick), so intraday swings can breathe.
Definitions you need to know
Loss Level: Limit above which you must stay.
The system always takes the highest End-of-the-day balance you have achieved and sets your Loss level based on that number.
EOD: End of the day
Numbers in context
How to calculate: Highest End-of-the-day balance - Drawdown amount (3%) = Loss level
This is how your account's EOD Dynamic Drawdown looks at the beginning:
Starting Balance | EOD Dynamic Drawdown (3%) | Loss level (You must stay above) |
$100,000 | $3,000 | $97,000 |
And this is how Dynamic Drawdown changes based on the profits you actually close:
| Scenario | End of the day balance | Tomorrow's Loss Level |
Day 1 | Start with $100,000 | $101,000 | $98,000 |
Day 2 | You close $1,000 profit | $102,000 | $99,000 |
Day 3 | You close -$1,000 loss | $101,000 | $99,000 |
Day 4 | You close $3,000 profit | $104,000 | $100,000 (locked) |
Day 5+ | EOD DD is locked, changed to static, and won't move any further |
| $100,000 (Locked) |
Note: Day traders get room to work a session without equity‑spike gotchas
How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
Remember that you can always rely on your Dashboard data
Go to your dashboard, check your account loss analysis of the account, and follow your Loss Levels.
Please note that if your account equity or balance reaches/falls below the loss level, your account will be permanently closed for breaching the EOD Dynamic Drawdown rule.
After the account breaches your loss level, the system will enforce closing the position automatically, which might take a while. This might result in closing your balance above the loss level; however, closing your balance above the loss level after you breach the drawdown level won't prevent the account from being violated and permanently closed.
