Diamond Hands
$100K to $100K
Drawdown
trailing, end of day in the evaluation · trailing, end of day once fundedThe floor only ratchets up on realised profit at the close, and an overnight position does not move it while it is held. It stops for good once realised profit covers the drawdown plus $100.
SourceHide source
“The drawdown is end-of-day trailing. Its upward ratchet only updates on realized P&L, at session close, and it only ever moves up to a new high (it does not trail back down). An open overnight position does not ratchet the floor up while it is held.”
YesA $1,500 daily limit measured from the previous day's closing balance, which open losses can touch. A weekend gap can breach it at the Sunday open.
SourceHide source
“Yes. A $1,500 per-day loss limit, measured from the prior day’s ending balance, fails the account the moment it is touched, by open or realized losses, not only after a position is closed. It is independent of the trailing drawdown.”
Holds overnight and weekendsOvernight allowed, weekend allowed.The only futures plan on this board with no flatten time at all: positions can be held overnight and through the weekend.
SourceHide source
“Yes. Only Diamond Hands and Direct To Funded accounts are able to hold trades through close, and the weekend.”

“Yes. Diamond Hands does not block holding through scheduled releases. That said, gap risk and slippage are yours: an adverse gap can breach your trailing floor or daily loss limit”

1-Step Evaluation
$50K to $250K
Drawdown
trailing, intraday in the evaluation · trailing, intraday once fundedThe floor follows the highest unrealised profit, so giving back an open gain can breach the account before the trade is closed. It is removed for good once realised profit covers the drawdown plus $100.
SourceHide source
“Live trailing drawdown moves with your highest unrealized P&L, including open profit. A spike on an open trade can push your floor up; if you then give that profit back, you can fail without ever closing the position.”
