Both use EOD Trailing drawdown, so the difference is not the limit type but the price and the payout rules.
Trailing means the limit rises with your equity peak, open positions included: giving profit back can end the account even without a real loss. EOD only recalculates at the session close, which forgives intraday swings.
In practice that is 5-7% trail of room at Blue Guardian and 4% trail at Top One.
