EOD Evaluation: what changes when you pass

Read today from the live EOD Evaluation, EOD PA, EOD Payouts, EOD Drawdown and Daily Loss Limit pages. What changes when the 25K EOD Evaluation becomes a 25K EOD Performance Account: (1) Consistency goes from 'Not Applied' on the eval table to the 50% Consistency Requirement on the PA, where no single profitable trading day may account for 50% or more of total profit earned since the last approved payout; failing it only removes the payout request option, the account stays active. (2) Scaling goes from 'Not Applied' on the eval table to Tier Based on the PA. (3) Max Contracts DROP from 4 in the eval to 2 in the PA. (4) Daily Loss Limit: fixed at $500 for the whole eval and it does not increase as profits grow; on the PA it is tier based, $500 at Level 1, $500 at Level 2 and $1,250 at Level 3. (5) EOD Threshold stop point changes, and on the EVALUATION side it is PLATFORM DEPENDENT again as of today's read. The EOD Drawdown Explained page republishes a split under 'When EOD Drawdown Stops Trailing': under the heading 'Evaluations Rithmic and Wealthcharts' it says 'EOD Threshold stops trailing and becomes fixed when it reaches an amount equal to the Target Profit balance', and under the heading 'Evaluations Tradovate' it says 'EOD Drawdown trails indefinitely with the peak EOD account balance'. The page works that Rithmic and WealthCharts case only at 50K and publishes no worked stop figure at 25K, so no 25K eval stop level is recorded here. On a Tradovate 25K EOD Evaluation the threshold never locks at all. The PA side carries NO platform qualifier: it stops increasing once it reaches Starting Balance plus $100, that is $25,100, which occurs when the Highest EOD Balance reaches $26,100. (6) A Safety Net appears on the PA only: drawdown limit plus $100 = $26,100, which must be maintained for the lifetime of the PA, and only profit above it is eligible to be requested. (7) Payouts exist only on the PA: minimum 5 qualifying trading days each showing at least $100 net profit, days need not be consecutive and have no deadline, $500 minimum per request, minimum balance to request $26,600, maximum 6 payouts after which the PA is closed and a new evaluation must be passed, with a flat $1,000 cap on each of the six payouts at this size. (8) An Inactivity Rule applies to the PA only (the PA parameter table shows Inactivity Rule 'Yes' at every size; the Intraday PA page states the trigger as failing to record at least two $50 net profit days within 30 consecutive calendar days). (9) A one-time PA activation fee must be paid within 7 calendar days of the eval being marked Passed. (10) The 30-day access period applies to Evaluation accounts only; the PA has no time limit. (11) Up to 20 PAs may be held at once across all sizes, EOD and Intraday combined.

After payout: Read today on the EOD Drawdown Explained page: 'Once the EOD Threshold reaches Starting Balance + $100, it stops increasing.' For a 25K EOD PA that Threshold Stop Level is $25,100, reached when the Highest EOD Balance reaches $26,100 (Starting Balance plus Max Drawdown plus $100). Payouts do not change it. The platform split republished today sits under the two 'Evaluations' headings only; the 'Performance Accounts' heading publishes a single rule with no Rithmic, WealthCharts or Tradovate qualifier, so the PA threshold behaves the same on every platform. The EOD Payouts page states the Safety Net 'must be maintained for the lifetime of the Performance Account' and 'does not disappear after your first payout'.

EOD Evaluation No-Activation-Fee: what changes when you pass

The No Activation Fee page states these evaluations follow the same rules, drawdown structure, access period and qualification process as standard Evaluations, and that the only difference is the PA activation price is set at $0 at checkout. So the same 25K EOD Performance Account is awarded and the same rules change on passing: (1) Consistency goes from 'Not Applied' on the eval table to the 50% Consistency Requirement on the PA, where no single profitable trading day may account for 50% or more of total profit earned since the last approved payout; failing it only removes the payout request option. (2) Scaling goes from 'Not Applied' to Tier Based. (3) Max Contracts DROP from 4 in the eval to 2 in the PA. (4) Daily Loss Limit: fixed at $500 for the whole eval; on the PA it is tier based, $500 at Level 1, $500 at Level 2 and $1,250 at Level 3. (5) EOD Threshold stop point changes, and because the drawdown structure is inherited from the standard EOD Evaluation, the EVALUATION side is PLATFORM DEPENDENT again as of today's read: the EOD Drawdown Explained page republishes 'Evaluations Rithmic and Wealthcharts / EOD Threshold stops trailing and becomes fixed when it reaches an amount equal to the Target Profit balance' and 'Evaluations Tradovate / EOD Drawdown trails indefinitely with the peak EOD account balance'. No worked stop figure is published at 25K, only at 50K, so none is recorded here. The PA side carries NO platform qualifier: it stops increasing at Starting Balance plus $100 = $25,100, which occurs when the Highest EOD Balance reaches $26,100. (6) A Safety Net appears on the PA only: $26,100, maintained for the lifetime of the PA, with only profit above it eligible to be requested. (7) Payouts exist only on the PA: minimum 5 qualifying trading days each showing at least $100 net profit, days need not be consecutive and have no deadline, $500 minimum per request, minimum balance to request $26,600, maximum 6 payouts after which the PA is closed, with a flat $1,000 cap on each of the six. (8) An Inactivity Rule applies to the PA only (Inactivity Rule 'Yes' at every size on the PA table; the Intraday PA page states the trigger as failing to record at least two $50 net profit days within 30 consecutive calendar days). (9) The standard 7 calendar day PA activation window still applies after the eval is marked Passed; the activation payment itself is $0. (10) The 30-day access period applies to Evaluation accounts only. (11) Up to 20 PAs may be held at once across all sizes, EOD and Intraday combined.

After payout: Identical to the standard 25K EOD PA, since the same PA is awarded. Read today on the EOD Drawdown Explained page: 'Once the EOD Threshold reaches Starting Balance + $100, it stops increasing.' The Threshold Stop Level is $25,100, reached when the Highest EOD Balance reaches $26,100. Payouts do not change it. The platform split republished today sits under the two 'Evaluations' headings only; the 'Performance Accounts' heading publishes a single rule with no platform qualifier. The EOD Payouts page states the Safety Net is maintained for the lifetime of the PA.

Intraday Trailing Drawdown Evaluation: what changes when you pass

Read today from the live Intraday Evaluation, Intraday PA, Intraday Payouts and Daily Loss Limit pages. What changes when the 25K Intraday Trailing Drawdown Evaluation becomes a 25K Intraday Performance Account: (1) A Daily Loss Limit APPEARS. The eval page states outright that the Intraday Evaluation does not have a Daily Loss Limit and that risk control is enforced entirely through the real-time trailing threshold; the PA table shows DLL Tier Based 'Yes' and the DLL page gives the 25K PA ladder as $500 at Level 1, $500 at Level 2 and $1,250 at Level 3. (2) Consistency goes from 'Not Applied' on the eval table to the 50% Consistency requirement on the PA, where no single profitable trading day may account for 50% or more of total profit earned since the last approved payout; failing it only removes the payout request option. (3) Scaling goes from 'Not Applied' to Tier Based. (4) Max Contracts DROP from 4 in the eval to 2 in the PA. (5) The trailing threshold behaviour changes: in the eval the threshold follows Peak Balance and never moves down; in the PA the page states trailing stops once the Max Trailing Drawdown Amount plus $100 is reached. The EOD platform split republished today does NOT touch this product: it is published under the EOD headings only, and the Intraday pages carry no Rithmic, WealthCharts or Tradovate qualifier at either the eval or the PA stage. (6) A Safety Net appears on the PA only: drawdown limit plus $100 = $26,100, maintained for the lifetime of the PA, with only profit above it eligible to be requested. (7) Payouts exist only on the PA: minimum 5 qualifying trading days each showing at least $100 net profit, days need not be consecutive and have no deadline, $500 minimum per request, minimum balance to request $26,600, maximum 6 payouts after which the PA is closed, with a flat $1,000 cap on each of the six. (8) An Inactivity Rule applies to the PA only: the account is closed if you do not record at least two $50 net profit days within 30 consecutive calendar days. (9) A one-time PA activation fee must be paid within 7 calendar days of the eval being marked Passed. (10) The 30-day access period applies to the Evaluation only, and the page says extensions are not offered. (11) Up to 20 PAs may be held at once across all sizes, EOD and Intraday combined.

After payout: Read today on the Intraday PA page: 'Trailing stops once Max Trailing Drawdown Amount + $100 is reached', and the balance including unrealized PnL may never touch or fall below the Intraday Trailing Drawdown threshold or the PA is permanently closed. Payouts do not change the threshold. The Intraday Payouts page states the Safety Net is the drawdown limit plus $100, remains in place for the lifetime of the Performance Account, and does not disappear after the first payout.

A day counts toward payout eligibility at $100+ profit.

Intraday Trailing Drawdown Evaluation No-Activation-Fee: what changes when you pass

The No Activation Fee page states these evaluations follow the same rules, drawdown structure, access period and qualification process as standard Evaluations, and are available for both Intraday and EOD, with the PA activation price set at $0 at checkout. The same 25K Intraday Performance Account is awarded, so the same rules change on passing: (1) A Daily Loss Limit APPEARS. The Intraday eval has none by design; the PA table shows DLL Tier Based 'Yes' and the DLL page gives the 25K PA ladder as $500 at Level 1, $500 at Level 2 and $1,250 at Level 3. (2) Consistency goes from 'Not Applied' to the 50% Consistency requirement on the PA; failing it only removes the payout request option. (3) Scaling goes from 'Not Applied' to Tier Based. (4) Max Contracts DROP from 4 in the eval to 2 in the PA. (5) The trailing threshold behaviour changes: in the eval it follows Peak Balance and never moves down; in the PA trailing stops once the Max Trailing Drawdown Amount plus $100 is reached. The EOD platform split republished today does NOT touch this product: it is published under the EOD headings only, and the Intraday pages carry no platform qualifier at either stage. (6) A Safety Net appears on the PA only: $26,100, maintained for the lifetime of the PA. (7) Payouts exist only on the PA: minimum 5 qualifying trading days each showing at least $100 net profit, days need not be consecutive and have no deadline, $500 minimum per request, minimum balance to request $26,600, maximum 6 payouts after which the PA is closed, with a flat $1,000 cap on each of the six. (8) An Inactivity Rule applies to the PA only: closure if you do not record at least two $50 net profit days within 30 consecutive calendar days. (9) The standard 7 calendar day PA activation window still applies; the activation payment itself is $0. (10) The 30-day access period applies to the Evaluation only. (11) Up to 20 PAs may be held at once across all sizes, EOD and Intraday combined.

After payout: Identical to the standard 25K Intraday PA, since the same PA is awarded. Read today on the Intraday PA page: 'Trailing stops once Max Trailing Drawdown Amount + $100 is reached', and the balance including unrealized PnL may never touch or fall below the threshold. Payouts do not change it, and the Intraday Payouts page states the Safety Net remains in place for the lifetime of the PA and does not disappear after the first payout.
