Read the default example
Start at $50,000 with a $2,000 loss distance. Both initial floors are $48,000. A first-session peak of $51,500 moves the intraday floor to $49,500. Closing at $50,400 leaves that intraday floor in place, while the EOD floor becomes $48,400 for the next session. A later $49,000 equity observation touches neither the EOD floor nor its initial floor, but it is below the intraday floor.
What the labels do not mean
EOD usually describes when a floor is updated. It does not promise you can cross an established floor during the session. A daily loss guard can pause trading without permanently closing an account, while a maximum-loss breach can end it. Specific lock levels, payout resets, balance origins and breach definitions vary by product and stage.
The first session is represented only by a peak and close, with no unseen lower excursion assumed. If the first close already breaches a floor, the illustration stops that path and does not assign a next-session outcome. Touching a threshold counts as a breach in this generic example. Consult the exact provider rule before applying it to an account.
