Quick Pay

$25K to $150K
Drawdown
trailing, intraday in the evaluation · trailing, intraday once fundedQuick Pay is sold with an intraday trailing limit measured on unrealised equity highs, and every Quick Pay funded account uses the intraday version whichever variant was bought. It stops trailing at the starting balance.
Source
“An End-of-Day (EOD) limit is calculated from the end-of-day balance, and an Intraday Limit is calculated from unrealized balances within the day. … Trailing max drawdown limits continues to trail your account growth until they reach the starting account balance. These limits are enforced in real time”
What is the maximum drawdown rule?
“All Fast Pass Funded Sim accounts are set up with End of Day (EOD) Drawdowns. All Quick Pay Funded Sim accounts will have an intraday drawdown , regardless of the drawdown had on the evaluation.”
