Once funded it locks at the starting balance when profit reaches the buffer, which equals the drawdown. Losses and payouts reduce it dollar for dollar; at zero the account fails.
Two drawdown types available, both Trailing Maximum Drawdown:
Intraday TMD
Calculated in real time from unrealized profits during the session.
End of Day TMD
