How does EOD trailing drawdown work?

EOD trailing drawdown applies to Instant Funded and Instant Funded Pro accounts during the funded phase. It is a dynamic drawdown mechanism that adjusts in your favour as your balance grows.

At the end of each trading day, if your account balance has increased, your maximum drawdown floor rises upward with it. This means your protection level improves as you profit — the floor trails your growing balance.

Critically, the drawdown floor only moves upward — it never trails downward. If your balance decreases, the floor does not move down.

Example: You open an Instant Funded $25,000 account. Your balance grows to $27,500. At EOD, your maximum drawdown floor trails upward to reflect the higher balance. The floor will not drop back down if your balance subsequently falls.

The maximum drawdown percentage itself remains fixed (5% for Instant Funded, 6% for Instant Funded Pro). The floor simply trails the highest EOD balance reached.
