Prop Firm Drawdown Mathematical Reference
Understanding how your daily loss limit and maximum overall drawdown floor update in real time is critical to surviving prop firm evaluations. Different firms calculate daily reset baselines using either closed balance, intraday equity, or whichever is higher at server midnight.
Static Drawdown Floor
Fixed at a constant percentage below initial starting balance (e.g., $90,000 on a $100,000 account with a 10% max loss). Profitable trades increase your effective drawdown buffer.

Trails your highest unrealized floating equity peak in real time. If an open trade reaches +$3,000 floating profit and reverses without closing, your liquidation floor has already ratcheted up by $3,000.
Read Trailing Drawdown Guide →End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing
Updates the maximum loss floor only at market close based on closed end-of-day balance, preventing intraday floating profit spikes from prematurely raising your breach level.

How is prop firm daily drawdown calculated?
Daily drawdown is calculated as a fixed percentage (typically 3% to 5%) of either your previous day's closed balance or the higher of your closed balance and floating equity at server reset. If your intraday floating equity drops below the daily floor at any millisecond, the account is breached.
What is the difference between static, EOD, and trailing drawdown?
Static drawdown stays fixed at its initial dollar floor forever. End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown moves up only at the end of the trading day based on closed balance. Intraday trailing drawdown follows your highest unrealized floating equity tick-by-tick until it locks at the starting balance.
