Updated 19 September 2026What this criterion means
An intraday drawdown follows the session high, often including unrealised profit: the floor rises while the position is in profit and stays there when it turns. It is the harshest variant, and the one many traders discover after the fact. Firms applying it on at least one programme are listed.
