What is intraday trailing drawdown?

A loss floor that follows your highest balance during the day, open profit included.

The floor moves up as soon as your balance or open profit makes a new high, not only at the close. A trade that runs up and then comes back can raise the floor without banking anything.

It's stricter than end-of-day trailing, so it's usually cheaper or paired with an easier target.
