Table of contents
Funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) to manage risk and reward consistency. It protects both the trader and the firm from excessive loss while still allowing room for growth. The evaluation phase uses an End-of-Day drawdown instead (see the evaluation phase article).
What is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown
Your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intraday equity, including open (unrealized) trades. It is tracked live, tick by tick, in real time.
- It is not fixed at the starting balance.
- It moves upward only as your live equity hits new highs. It never goes down.
- It is based on the highest equity value during the day, not just closed trades.
- It does not reset at the end of the day; it is always calculated from the highest realized or unrealized P&L achieved on the account.

− - Even if you close it later at $102,500, the breach level is $100,000 (based on the peak of $103,000).

− - Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.

− This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.
− Rule Violation
− If your account balance closes at or drops below your Maximum Loss Limit threshold during the funded phase:
− - The account will be permanently breached.
− - Trading access will be disabled.

+ Example: $100,000 account with a $3,000 TIDD
+ Starting balance $100,000, so the initial breach level is $97,000.
+ Scenario | What happens | New breach level
+ 1. You make $1,000 and close the trade | New equity high: $101,000 | $98,000
+ 2. An open trade spikes your equity to $103,000 (unrealized), you close it at $102,500 | The peak of $103,000 counts, not the closing value | $100,000
+ 3. The next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops back to $103,000 | The peak of $105,500 counts. If your equity drops below the breach level, the account breaches, even with the trade still open | $102,500
+ Key takeaway: the TIDD follows your highest equity value ever achieved, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.
+ When does the TIDD stop trailing (drawdown lock)
+ On funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts, the TIDD keeps trailing until you request your first payout. After your first payout request, it locks at starting balance + $100 and stops trailing. From that point, account growth no longer raises the breach level. This is different from the evaluation phase and from the regular Elite ACCESS account, where the drawdown locks as soon as the balance reaches starting balance + drawdown + $100. On a funded Elite ACCESS Intraday account the drawdown keeps trailing above that level until your first payout request.
+ Good to know
+ - Real-time: includes open (unrealized) trades.
+ - Dynamic: adjusts upward as new equity highs are hit, never down.
+ - Breach level: if your equity drops below the trailing threshold, your account breaches.
+ - Post-payout lock: after your first payout, the TIDD locks at starting balance + $100.
This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.
Section: Good to know
+ Hard breach: if your equity drops at or below the Maximum Loss Limit threshold during the funded phase, the account is permanently breached and trading access is disabled.

Elite ACCESS Intraday – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (Funded Phase)
On our Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, we use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) model to manage risk and reward consistency. This rule protects both the trader and the firm from excessive loss while still allowing room for growth.
What Is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown?
Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) means your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intra-day equity—including open (unrealized) trades. It is tracked live, tick by tick, in real-time.
- It is not fixed at the starting balance.
- It moves upward only as your account hits new highs.
- It is based on the highest equity value during the day, not just closed trades.
- The TIDD does not reset at the end of the day; it is always calculated based on the highest realized or unrealized P&L.
Example – $100,000 Account with 3% TIDD
- Account Size: $100,000
- TIDD: 3% = $3,000
- Initial Breach Level: $97,000
Scenario 1
You make $1,000 and close the trade.
- New high: $101,000
- New breach level: $98,000
Scenario 2
You open a trade, and your equity spikes to $103,000 (unrealized).
- Even if you close it later at $102,500, the breach level is $100,000 (based on the peak of $103,000).
Scenario 3
Your next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops to $103,000.
- New breach level: $102,500
- If your equity drops below $102,500, the account breaches—even if you haven't closed the trade.
Key Takeaway: The TIDD follows your highest equity value during the day, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.
When Does the TIDD Stop Trailing?
On Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, your TIDD continues to trail until you receive your first payout.
After your first payout, it locks in at the starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. From that point forward, account growth no longer raises the breach level.
Summary of TIDD Rules
- Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.
- Dynamic: Adjusts upward as new equity highs are hit.
- Breach Level: If equity drops below the trailing threshold, your account breaches.
- Post-Payout Lock: After your first payout, the TIDD locks in place at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing.
This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.
