It rises with the day's closing balance
“The drawdown applied to Elite Live accounts is an End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown , meaning the drawdown limit is recalculated and adjusted once at the end of each trading day — not in real time.”help centre · help.tradeify.co/en/articles/12969284-tradeify-elite-program · 2026-08-02 · saved copy

“CRITICAL: Even though EOD drawdown only UPDATES at end of day, it is ENFORCED in real-time. If your balance hits the drawdown limit during trading, your account fails immediately - even if you might have recovered by end of day.”help centre · help.tradeify.co/en/articles/10495897-rules-trailing-max-drawdowns · 2026-08-02 · saved copy

What taking a payout does to the limit
Our reading
Nothing — the limit stays where it was
“A: Your maximum trailing drawdown locks when your End of Day balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100. Once locked, the drawdown limit becomes a fixed floor at $100 above your starting balance and never moves up again. This applies to both Select Flex and Select Daily policies.”help centre · help.tradeify.co/en/articles/12853966-select-flex-and-select-daily-payout-policies · 2026-08-02 · saved copy

Where the limit stops rising
Our reading
Somewhere above your starting balance
