Model where your prop firm drawdown floor moves under static, end-of-day trailing, or intraday trailing rules. Start with an official preset or use custom inputs.

Presets use official help-center values checked July 3, 2026.
Use the starting balance or buying-power label you want to model.
Select the structure you want to model.
The distance between current equity basis and the breach floor.
Enter 0 if you do not want to model a daily limit.
Set to 0 to disable. The floor will not trail above this level.
Intraday mode: enter the session high and optional session low. This simplified model treats a session-low touch at or below the updated floor as a breach.

Daily Scenario

Enter each day’s closed P&L. In intraday mode, add the highest equity and lowest equity reached during that session. Negative values are losses.

Scenario Results

Assumptions behind this estimate

One entry per day; no commissions, exchange fees, data fees, slippage, swap, weekend gaps, news halts, exchange-rate effects, or platform-specific rounding. EOD trailing updates once at close. Intraday trailing uses the session high entered by the user. The session-low check compares the entered low with that day’s updated floor. Daily-loss checks are simplified and use the lower of close or entered session low.

What It Models

This calculator shows a simplified breach path for static floors, trailing end-of-day floors, trailing intraday floors, daily loss limits, and lock-in levels. It does not verify every firm rule, model every tick, include trading costs, predict payouts, recommend a firm, or tell you whether to buy an evaluation.

Formula Notes

  • Static: floor equals starting account size minus maximum drawdown and does not move.
  • Trailing end-of-day: floor equals the higher of the prior floor or closing equity minus drawdown amount.
  • Trailing intraday: floor equals the higher of the prior floor or entered session-high equity minus drawdown amount.
  • Breach: hitting the floor counts as a breach in this model.
  • Lock-in: when enabled, the floor stops trailing once the simplified floor reaches the entered lock-in level.

Source note: presets use official help-center pages linked beside each preset and were checked July 3, 2026. Custom values come from your inputs, so verify current rules with the firm before trading. This tool is educational and is not financial, trading, tax, legal, or accounting advice.

Compare the preset values against the drawdown rules comparison, test daily limits in the Daily Loss Limit Scenario Explorer, or check broader rule evidence in RuleWatch.
