Intraday Drawdown
S2F Accelerate Plan is a Intraday Drawdown system to correctly calculate the max drawdown.
Your highest account balance is tracked in real time throughout the trading day, including open (unrealized) profits.
The Maximum Loss Limit trails upward as your account grows
Account Size | Max Drawdown |
$50,000 | $2,000 |
How Intraday Drawdown Is Calculated
The Intraday Trailing Drawdown follows your account’s highest balance or equity reached during trading and moves upward as new highs are achieved. If your account reaches a new intraday high, the drawdown threshold will trail behind it by the specified drawdown amount. The threshold never moves back down, even if profits are later lost.
Example: On a $50,000 Accelerate account with a $2,000 Intraday Trailing Drawdown, your starting drawdown threshold is $48,000. If your account reaches a high of $51,000, your drawdown threshold moves to $49,000. If your account later falls back to $50,500, the threshold remains at $49,000.
What Happens After a Payout?
One of the most common questions traders ask is:
"What happens to my drawdown after I receive a payout?"
The answer:
Your Intraday Trailing Drawdown does not reset after a payout.
Once your drawdown threshold has moved higher, it remains locked at that level.
A payout reduces your account balance, but it does not reduce your drawdown threshold.
This means your remaining drawdown cushion may become smaller after receiving a payout.
