End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown — Evaluations
How Edmond’s EOD drawdown model works on evaluation accounts.
EOD evaluation accounts information
- No live trailing during the session for threshold calculation — the threshold is set from the day’s closing balance.
- Once set, that EOD threshold is enforced live throughout the next session (including unrealized P&L).
- Daily loss limit (DLL) is fixed for the evaluation and enforced intraday.
- Fixed contract size for the full evaluation — no eval-stage scaling.
- 30 calendar days to pass · 7 calendar days after pass to activate the matching EOD PRO Account.
Evaluation parameters
| Size | Profit target | Max drawdown (EOD) | Daily loss limit | Contracts | Pass window | Consistency / scaling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $500 | 4 / 40 | 30 days | Not applied |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,000 | 6 / 60 | 30 days | Not applied |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $1,500 | 8 / 80 | 30 days | Not applied |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,000 | $2,000 | 12 / 120 | 30 days | Not applied |
How to pass
- Reach the profit target for your size.
- Never touch or break the active EOD threshold. Hitting the daily loss limit pauses the session; it does not fail the evaluation by itself.
After you pass, activate the matching EOD PRO Account within 7 calendar days (separate fee).
What the EOD threshold is
- Defines the lowest balance the account may reach.
- Recalculated once per trading day at market close (~4:59:59 PM Eastern) from the closing balance.
- Trails the highest achieved EOD balance and never moves down.
- After recalculation, it is enforced in real time the next session. Touching it liquidates and fails the evaluation.
- On evaluation, the fail line locks at the profit-target balance once the highest EOD close reaches profit target + max drawdown.
$50K evaluation example: profit target is $53,000. When the highest EOD close reaches $55,000, the fail line locks at $53,000. After that, a later close under $53,000 fails the evaluation. This is different from EOD PRO, where the fail line locks at $50,100.
| Eval size | Lock when highest EOD reaches | Locked fail line |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $27,500 | $26,500 |
| $50K | $55,000 | $53,000 |
| $100K | $109,000 | $106,000 |
| $150K | $163,000 | $159,000 |
You may draw down freely above the active threshold during the day; you may not touch the threshold itself. Hitting the daily loss limit pauses the session. It does not fail the evaluation by itself.
