What Is End of Day (EOD) Drawdown?
Last updated: October 2026
End of Day (EOD) drawdown only adjusts your maximum drawdown floor at the close of each trading session — not in real time. This makes it significantly more forgiving for intraday traders.
How It Works
With EOD drawdown, your drawdown floor is calculated based on your account balance at the end of each trading day. During the session, your equity can swing freely without affecting the floor.
Example
Example: if you start the day at $51,000 with an EOD floor of $48,500, and your equity dips to $48,600 intraday but closes at $51,500 — your floor stays at $48,500. At end of day, it adjusts to $49,000 ($2,500 below closing). With real-time trailing, that intraday dip would have permanently tightened your drawdown. Firms offering EOD: Blue Guardian, YRM Prop, Bulenox (selectable), and Topstep.
