TradeDay Static Drawdown
The Simple Answer
TradeDay runs two drawdown mechanics depending on the program purchased, an Intraday Trailing Maximum Drawdown (trails based on unrealized/intraday equity peaks) and an End-of-Day Maximum Drawdown (updates only at each day’s close). Both trail up with new balance highs and freeze once they reach the starting account balance (for example a $100K evaluation starts with a $97,000 TMD that freezes at $100,000 once balance reaches $103,000); breaching the active limit at any point during the day triggers auto-liquidation and evaluation failure.

Final Thoughts
TradeDay’s static drawdown policy is one of the more specific rules traders overlook before they start an evaluation. TradeDay runs two drawdown mechanics depending on the program purchased, an Intraday Trailing Maximum Drawdown (trails based on unrealized/intraday equity peaks) and an End-of-Day Maximum Drawdown (updates only at each day’s close). Both trail up with new balance highs and freeze once they reach the starting account balance (for example a $100K evaluation starts with a $97,000 TMD that freezes at $100,000 once balance reaches $103,000); breaching the active limit at any point during the day triggers auto-liquidation and evaluation failure. Reading the fine print on tradeday.freshdesk.com before you fund an account is the easiest way to avoid a rule breach that has nothing to do with your trading skill.
