    Drawdown in plain words

    Each program sets a loss limit: an account that falls to it fails. How the limit moves depends on the drawdown type.

    How this rule works

    End-of-day trailing

    Fast Pass EOD (Monthly), Quick Pay EOD

    The limit trails the highest end-of-day balance by the maximum drawdown. It moves only at the daily close and never down; swings inside the day do not move it.

    Example: TradeDay Fast Pass EOD (Monthly) on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If a day closes at $51,000, the limit moves up to $49,000 at the close; a losing day after that does not move it back down. (data checked )

    From the program terms

    Fast Pass EOD (Monthly)

    • EOD eval and funded at 50K, 100K and 150K

    Quick Pay EOD

    Eval EOD; funded drawdown intraday

    Intraday trailing

    Quick Pay Intraday

    The limit trails the highest point the account reaches during the session by the maximum drawdown and moves up as soon as a new high is made. It never moves down.

    Example: TradeDay Quick Pay Intraday on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If the account reaches $51,000 during the session, the limit moves up to $49,000 straight away, even if the day then closes lower. (data checked )

    From the program terms

    Quick Pay Intraday

    Quick Pay Intraday: eval and funded trailing calculated intraday

    Consistency rule

    A consistency rule caps the share of total profit that may come from your best trading day.

    How this rule worksCheck your best day

    Example: TradeDay Fast Pass EOD (Monthly) on a $50,000 account: the profit target is $3,000 and the rule is 45%. If you finish exactly on the target, no single day may have made more than $1,350 of it. (data checked )
