Trailing drawdown replayer

On intraday plans the threshold follows your highest open-trade equity, so a winner you give back still drags it up. Replay your trades and watch it move.

Threshold trails the highest open-trade equity peak — unrealised highs count, and it never retreats.

$2 500 to liquidation
= 1250 MNQ points of adverse move (1 contract)

Add a trade, or load the classic trap, to watch the threshold move.

Breach is checked on the closed balance: a move against you inside a trade can liquidate sooner.

The classic trap (hit ▶ above to load it): you're up $900 unrealised, take only $25 of it, and the threshold has already ratcheted $900 closer — then a $150 loss, a scratch and a $500 loss later you're $975 from liquidation, with under 40% of your $2,500 cushion left, without ever taking a big hit. That's why "I never closed a losing trade, why am I liquidated?" is the most-asked question in futures prop forums.

The defence is mechanical, not motivational: take profits at structure instead of letting winners round-trip, and size with the futures risk panel so no single stop-out eats a third of your remaining distance. During the session, the daily loss limit tracker keeps the day from compounding.

This replayer is a model: drawdown mechanics differ by firm and plan (intraday, end-of-day or static, freeze levels, what counts as equity) and rules change, so verify against your firm’s own documentation and dashboard. Everything you enter stays in your browser. Educational tool, not financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.

The threshold punishes giving winners back. ImprintTrader scores every setup against your written rules before you take it, and when the trade closes, the Journal's management check lets you record whether you kept to your plan, profit targets included.
