Drawdown Distance Calculator
The single biggest reason traders blow funded accounts: they don't know how close they actually are to breach. This calculator shows you in dollars and percentages, for any drawdown rule type — static, trailing intraday, or trailing EOD.

How each drawdown type works
Static — the floor is fixed at starting balance minus the limit, and never moves. If you start at $100K with 10% max drawdown, the floor is $90K forever, even if you scale up to $150K.
Trailing intraday — the floor tracks your live equity high. Hit $108K and the floor moves up to $98K (with a 10% drawdown). Drop back below that and the account closes, even if your balance is still above the original $100K. This is the model most futures firms use.
Trailing EOD — same as intraday, but the floor only updates at session close. So you can spike to $108K intraday and pull back to $103K by the session close without the floor moving up to lock you in. Less punishing than intraday trailing.
