TradeDay — trailing drawdown — 100k

Rules read from TradeDay's own documentation on 2026-07-30 · rules/tradeday

TradeDay's Quick Pay Intraday models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 100k account size: the threshold tracks the highest equity reached intraday, including open positions and never moves back down. The floor stops trailing once it locks; the corpus records a lock condition for this program.
