With end-of-day (EOD) trailing, the firm recalculates your floor using your equity at each session close. An intraday spike you give back before the close does not lower your buffer.
Topstep's Maximum Loss Limit is the best-known example. Because the trail moves on closes, banking profit before the close is what protects the next session's buffer.
