The Max Loss EOD is the trailing end-of-day drawdown limit on Futures and Stocks accounts: 4% on The Thunder and 3% on The Bee, on both the one-time and monthly plans. Breaching it is a Hard Breach that closes the account.
How the trailing works
The threshold is based on the highest end-of-day account value your account has recorded. It is calculated as Highest end-of-day account value − the applicable percentage of that value. The limit:
Starts 4% (Thunder) or 3% (Bee) below the initial account value.
Is recalculated only when a new end-of-day maximum is recorded.
Moves upward only — it never moves downward.
Does not reset at the start of a new trading day.
Is monitored continuously throughout the following session.
Example ($100,000 Thunder, 4%)
Step | Value |
Initial end-of-day maximum | $100,000 |
Initial Max Loss EOD threshold | $96,000 |
New end-of-day maximum | $105,000 |
4% of $105,000 | $4,200 |
Updated Max Loss EOD threshold | $100,800 |
After the update, the account value must stay above $100,800. If it reaches or falls below that level, the account is closed.
Thunder vs Bee
The Thunder uses a 4% trail and The Bee a 3% trail. For example, on a $25,000 account The Thunder floors at $24,000 and The Bee at $24,250; on a $50,000 account the floors are $48,000 and $48,500.
Not the same as the Daily Pause
The Max Loss EOD is a hard limit: unlike the Daily Pause, breaching it is not recoverable. Never rely on the Daily Pause as a stop-loss — slippage can carry a loss past it and straight into the Max Loss EOD.
Note for CFD traders
CFD challenges use their own trailing drawdowns: Flash has an equivalent 4% End-of-Day trailing limit based on the highest end-of-day equity, while Instant uses a 5% trailing limit that follows the highest equity ever reached (not only end-of-day). See “CFDs trading rules”.
