The #1 reason funded evaluations blow up isn't a bad strategy — it's misunderstanding how an intraday trailing drawdown ratchets against you. Paste a sequence of trades and watch your loss limit climb. Free, no login, nothing stored.
closed P&L, optional , peak = the largest
open profit you reached during that trade (for intraday trailing).On a static drawdown, your loss floor never moves: blow below
start − drawdown and you're out. Simple.
The floor follows your highest closing balance, minus the drawdown. Bank profit, the floor rises with it, and giving some back later can still breach it.
The dangerous one. The floor follows your highest open-equity point — the peak your account touched mid-trade, even on a trade you didn't close green. Run a position to +$900 open and let it fade to a break-even exit, and your loss limit just got dragged up $900 of runway you'll never get back. This is exactly why a hold-to-close, no-target style is structurally hostile to these accounts — it routinely gives back open profit, and on intraday trailing, every give-back is permanent.
v1 models the floor from closed P&L plus optional intraday peaks. It does not model intraday lows within a trade, so a real account could breach sooner than shown. Treat results as a floor on the risk, not a ceiling. Educational tool — not financial advice, not affiliated with any prop firm.
