Evaluation Account Rules
Overview of Edmond evaluation rules. Choose intraday trailing or EOD drawdown — both are one-step assessments with a 30-day pass window.
Two evaluation models
- Intraday trailing: Live equity trailing floor that rises with peak balance and never moves down. No daily loss limit. Full details: Intraday Trailing Drawdown Evaluations.
- EOD drawdown: Floor is set from the daily close, then enforced live the next session. Touching it fails the eval. Full details: EOD Drawdown Evaluations.
To pass either path: reach the profit target for your size and stay within that model’s drawdown rules. There is no minimum trading day count. After a pass, activate your PRO Account within 7 calendar days (separate fee).
Intraday trailing — quick numbers
| Size | Profit target | Max drawdown | Contracts | Daily loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $1,000 | 4 / 40 micro | None |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | 6 / 60 | None |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 | 8 / 80 | None |
| $150,000 | $9,000 | $4,000 | 12 / 120 | None |
Consistency and contract scaling are not applied during evaluation; they start on the PRO Account.
Session close & account integrity
- Flat by session close: close positions and cancel working orders by 4:59 PM Eastern (earlier on holidays or products that close sooner).
- Your credentials and accounts are for your exclusive use — sharing is prohibited.
- Directional trading only; hedging evaluations against each other is not allowed. See Prohibited Activities.
Evaluation Period: 30 Days to Pass, No Auto Renewal
- One-time charge: Evaluations are a single payment. There is no automatic monthly subscription or renewal.
- 30-day pass window: Trade from Day 0 (your start date) through the end of Day 30 to pass. If you have not passed by then, the evaluation expires.
- Account resets: You may perform unlimited account resets (subject to reset fee) only during your remaining pass-window time—not a new 30 days. Example: if you reset on day 25, you have 5 days left to pass.
- Discounted reset: A discounted reset is valid only until the original evaluation end date. After the 30-day period has ended, you must purchase a new evaluation.
Account Status
- Failed account: You may reset at a discounted fee at any time before your original 30-day period ends. After the period ends, a new evaluation purchase is required.
