FuturesElite drawdown rules

“End of Day (EOD): the drawdown policy is based on closed profits at the end of each trading day and follows a trailing system, with the Max Loss Limit set relative to your account balance at the close. If the account has a losing day, the drawdown remains unchanged: it only increases after a profitable day. Intraday swings and open profit never move it. Once the drawdown reaches $100 above your starting balance , it will lock at that level and stop trailing .”

“If today's close is your best close so far, the floor moves up to sit $2,000 below it If not, the floor stays where it is The floor never moves during the session. If you dip below it during the day but close above it, your account is safe Once the floor reaches $0, it stops there for good”

“If your account closes a day at or below the Max Loss Limit, the account is breached. A drawdown breach is final: positions are liquidated and the account cannot be recovered. To trade again you can reset the account or start a new challenge.”

“Dipping below the floor during the day does not end the account. Only closing the day below it does.”

“EOD trailing. Your Max Loss Limit adjusts only after each session close, based on your end of day balance. It never moves intraday and never moves down. An intraday dip below the limit does not breach the account as long as you recover by the close; the breach check happens at end of day, and open positions count in that check”
