These are all simulated funded accounts that come with realistic parameters based on actual capital allocations.
Section: Can I Hold Positions Through Market Close?
How does the drawdown work on S2F accounts?
S2F accounts use EOD Trailing Drawdown model, designed to mirror real risk management without the added pressure of intraday fluctuations. Unlike traditional trailing drawdowns that adjust throughout the day, the S2F drawdown only updates at the end of the trading day (EOD). This gives traders more room to manage their positions intraday without triggering premature liquidation, while still maintaining structured risk control. It’s a balanced approach that supports active trading with clearer boundaries.
