End-of-Day Drawdown — PRO Accounts

The separate rules for simulated funded PRO Accounts activated after passing an EOD Drawdown evaluation.

How the EOD PRO account works

  • PRO trading hours are 6:00 PM to 4:59 PM Eastern. Holiday hours may vary.
  • Your PRO Account has the same starting balance and maximum drawdown amount as the EOD evaluation you passed.
  • The threshold is recalculated once per trading day at approximately 4:59:59 PM ET from closing balance.
  • It trails the highest EOD balance (never moves down) and is enforced live during the next session, including unrealized P&L.
  • The fail line locks at starting balance + $100 once the highest EOD balance reaches starting balance + max drawdown + $100.
  • Until that lock, $50,100 (or the other size lock) is not the fail line. You fail if you hit the active trailing EOD threshold.
  • After the lock, you fail only if you reach that locked line. Staying above it keeps the account open even if a later EOD close is under the profit-target balance (for example under $53,000 on a $50k).
  • Touching or falling below the active EOD threshold triggers market liquidation and permanently closes the PRO Account.
  • A separate session Daily Loss Limit (DLL) scales with your profit tier. Hitting the DLL pauses trading for the rest of that session. It does not close the account.
  • Standard, mini, and micro contracts are allowed. You may switch sizes. 10 micros = 1 mini toward the current max (1 NQ = 10 MNQ). Stay within the current position limit and scaling level.
  • To keep the PRO Account active, trade at least one day each calendar week (Sunday–Friday).

$50K example: lock trigger is $52,100 highest EOD ($50,000 + $2,000 + $100). From then on the fail line stays $50,100.

$25K$26,100$25,100
$50K$52,100$50,100
$100K$103,100$100,100
$150K$154,100$150,100

If the balance later drops (for example under $53,000)

Contract size and DLL follow the latest EOD close, not the all-time high. The EOD fail line follows the highest EOD close and does not move down.

  • A $50K account that closes above $53,000 is on the 4-mini / $2,000 DLL row.
  • If a later EOD close is $52,732, the next session uses 3 minis and a $1,000 DLL. Reaching the profit-target balance does not freeze the tier.
  • If the highest EOD was already $52,100 or more, the fail line stays $50,100. That later $52,732 close does not blow the account and does not lower the fail line.
  • Tiers never go below Level 1 (starting contracts and starting DLL).

Contract and DLL scaling

Profit means end-of-day balance above starting balance. The tier is set from the prior close (about 4:59:59 PM ET) and applies to the next session. It can move up or down. It does not change intraday.

$10,000+10$4,000

A DLL hit flattens positions and pauses trading for the remainder of the trading day; the account remains active for the next session. An EOD threshold breach permanently closes the account. Orders above the current contract limit are rejected. 10 micros = 1 mini toward the max.
