Key terms
- EOD (end-of-day) drawdown
- Your maximum-loss line trails on your balance at the daily close, not your highest intraday equity. Open profit you give back during the day does not pull the line up against you.
- Trailing drawdown
- Your maximum-loss line trails your highest intraday equity, so profit you reach and then give back can move the line up against you.
- Daily loss limit (DLL)
- A cap on how much you can lose in a single trading day — some firms call it a Daily Loss Guard. A few make it optional during the evaluation.
- Consistency rule
- Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single best day, so one outlier session can't carry a pass or a payout.
- Profit split
- The share of payouts you keep. A 90/10 split means you keep 90% and the firm keeps 10%.
- XFA / PA
- Firm-specific funded-account names: XFA is Topstep's Express Funded Account; PA is Apex's Performance Account.
