EOD Trailing Drawdown Explained

A full explanation of how the end-of-day trailing drawdown works, when it trails, when it locks, and what it means for your account balance day to day.

The end-of-day (EOD) drawdown is the primary risk control mechanism on Solo Clash accounts. Understanding exactly how it works — and when it stops moving — is essential before you start trading.
​

What Is EOD Drawdown?

The EOD drawdown is a floor below which your account balance may not fall at any given time during trading days. It is evaluated at the end of each session based on your closing balance.
​

If your account falls below the floor on any given day, your account is failed or breached depending on your current phase.
​

When Does It Trail?

Trailing means the floor rises as your account grows. Every time your end-of-day balance reaches a new high, the floor moves up with it — preserving the gains you have made.

The trailing drawdown applies in the following scenarios:

  • Limitless Evaluation — the floor trails throughout

  • Legacy Evaluation — the floor trails throughout

  • Liquid Evaluation — the floor trails throughout

  • Legacy Express — the floor trails throughout

  • Limitless Express — the floor trails throughout

  • Liquid Express — the floor trails throughout

When Does It Stop Trailing?

The floor locks at initial balance plus $100 — and stops trailing when either of the following happens, whichever comes first:

  • Once your account reaches the drawdown threshold above your initial balance in profits, or

  • You take your first payout
    ​

It does not trail further. It does not move down. It remains as a permanent buffer for the rest of the Express and Live phases.
​

Example — $50,000 Limitless account (4% drawdown):

  • Initial balance: $50,000

  • Drawdown floor at start: $48,000 (4% below initial)

  • The floor trails upward as your balance grows

  • Once your balance reaches $52,100 (4% above initial), the floor locks at $50,100

  • From that point on, $50,100 is your permanent hard floor
