What can kill your account

TradeDay's biggest account-ending risks, with the evidence behind each.

Drawdown modelElevated4/10
How the account gets breached. Trailing or intraday drawdown can end your account on an open-trade swing — not only on realized losses.
“Intraday Trailing Maximum Drawdown (Intraday TMD) calculates the maximum drawdown limit from unrealized profits in real-time during a trading session, and this drawdown will freeze at the account starting balance. (EOD TMD uses realized end-of-day balance = level 8; Static SDL = level 10 — same-price alternatives.)” source
Pricing honestyWatch6/10
Resetting timers, perpetual “discounts”, or undisclosed add-ons inflate the real cost of getting and staying funded.
“Subscription pricing with rotating named monthly sales (USE CODE "TDNEW"; dedicated /july-sale, /dec-sale, /current-sale pages). Effective price shown at checkout.” source
