The End-of-Position (EoP) Drawdown, sometimes referred to as Position-on-Close (PoC), is the risk control system used within the FFF Professional Stage. It represents a modern, trader-aligned risk management approach that emphasizes flexibility and strategic execution over punitive real-time monitoring. This article outlines what EoP is, how it works, and why it benefits professional traders operating under the FFF model.
What is End-of-Position (EoP) Drawdown?
EoP Drawdown is a trailing risk control system that only adjusts your drawdown threshold after a position is closed in profit. It is not influenced by unrealized gains or intraday fluctuations. This approach creates a buffer between real market volatility and a trader’s protected account balance, allowing for greater freedom in trade management.
Key Features:
- Dynamic but delayed adjustment: The drawdown increases only when a trade is closed and profit is realized.
- Losses do not reduce the trailing drawdown: Once the drawdown moves up, it remains there—losses afterward do not scale it back.
- Traders exit drawdown after recovering their account's drawdown buffer, gaining access to full payout eligibility.
How Does It Work?
Example illustration only — actual drawdown values may vary based on the Personalized Max Drawdown assigned to the account.
Each live account begins with a predefined maximum drawdown limit. For instance, a $50,000 account has a $2,000 drawdown, meaning the initial minimum balance is set at $48,000.
When a trader closes a profitable trade:
- The realized profit is added to the trailing drawdown floor.
- The new minimum balance becomes the initial balance minus the drawdown + cumulative realized profit.
Once the realized profit equals the full drawdown limit +$100 (e.g., $2,100 for a $50K account), the trader is out of drawdown. At that point, the new minimum balance (drawdown) becomes the account starting balance +$100, which then serves as a permanent capital protection threshold and will remain static at that balance level.
Example: EoP in Action
| $50,000 Professional Stage account | $2,000 Drawdown | Initial Min Balance: $48,000 |
|---|
| Trade | Balance After Trade | Realized P&L | Cumulative Realized Profit | New Drawdown Floor (EoP) |
| Start | $50,000 | – | – | $48,000 |
| Trade 1 | $50,700 | +$700 (closed) | $700 | $48,700 |
| Trade 2 | $51,500 | +$800 (closed) | $1,500 | $49,500 |
| Trade 3 | $51,200 | –$300 (closed) | $1,200 | $49,500 (unchanged) |
| Trade 4 | $52,000 | +$800 (closed) | $2,000 | $50,000 |
| Trade 5 | $52,600 | +$600 (closed) | $2,600 | $50,100 (drawdown & $100 buffer recovered) |
| Trade 6 | $53,500 | +$900 (closed) | $3,500 | $50,100 (Remains static at this balance) |
Key Takeaways:
- Only closed profits affect the drawdown floor.
- Losses like Trade 3 do not reduce the trailing minimum.
- After fully recovering the drawdown +$100 buffer, the account is eligible for withdrawals and full profit split benefits.
Why EoP is More Trader-Friendly
| Attribute | End-of-Position (EoP) | Real-Time Trailing Drawdown |
|---|
| Adjusts on Unrealized Gains? | No | Yes |
| Drawdown Reduces on Losses? | No | Yes |
| Encourages Strategic Holds? | Yes | No – penalizes long open positions |
| Psychological Pressure | Lower | High |
| Supports Long-Term Trades? | Yes | No |
