Intraday Trailing Drawdown — PRO Accounts
The separate rules for simulated funded PRO Accounts activated after passing an Intraday Trailing evaluation.
How the Intraday PRO account works
- Your PRO Account has the same starting balance and maximum drawdown amount as the Intraday evaluation you passed.
- The trailing threshold follows peak live equity, including unrealized P&L, and never moves down.
- The threshold stops trailing when it reaches starting balance + $100.
- The lock occurs when peak equity reaches starting balance + maximum drawdown + $100.
- Touching or falling below the active threshold triggers market liquidation and permanently closes the PRO Account.
- A separate intraday Daily Loss Limit (DLL) applies and scales with your profit tier.
PRO parameters
| Account | Max drawdown | Locked threshold | Top-tier max contracts | DLL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $25,100 | 2 minis | Tier based |
| $50K | $2,000 | $50,100 | 4 minis | Tier based |
| $100K | $3,000 | $100,100 | 6 minis | Tier based |
| $150K | $4,000 | $150,100 | 10 minis | Tier based |
Contract and DLL scaling
Profit means end-of-day balance above starting balance. The tier is set from the prior close at approximately 4:59:59 PM ET and applies to the next session. It can move up or down; it does not change intraday.
| Size | Profit above start | Max contracts | Daily loss limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $0–$999 | 1 | $500 |
| $1,000–$1,999 | 2 | $500 | |
| $2,000+ | 2 | $1,250 | |
| $50K | $0–$1,499 | 2 | $1,000 |
| $1,500–$2,999 | 3 | $1,000 | |
| $3,000–$5,999 | 4 | $2,000 | |
| $6,000+ | 4 | $3,000 | |
| $100K | $0–$1,999 | 3 | $1,750 |
| $2,000–$2,999 | 4 | $1,750 | |
| $3,000–$4,999 | 5 | $1,750 | |
| $5,000–$9,999 | 6 | $2,500 | |
| $10,000+ | 6 | $3,500 | |
| $150K | $0–$1,999 | 4 | $2,500 |
| $2,000–$2,999 | 5 | $2,500 | |
| $3,000–$4,999 | 7 | $2,500 | |
| $5,000–$9,999 | 10 | $3,000 | |
| $10,000+ | 10 | $4,000 |
If the DLL is reached, positions are flattened and trading pauses for the rest of the trading day; the account remains active for the next session. Orders exceeding the current contract limit are rejected.
Payouts and conduct
Intraday PRO Accounts use their own qualifying-profit and sequential payout table.
