EdgeProp Evaluation Accounts – Rules, Parameters & Funding Process

This article provides a complete overview of how EdgeProp Evaluation Accounts operate. It explains the structure of the evaluation program, including account sizes, profit targets, trailing drawdown mechanics, position limits, trading requirements, and the transition process to funded accounts.

The purpose of the evaluation phase is to identify traders who demonstrate consistent performance, responsible risk management, and disciplined execution before granting access to a funded trading account.

Evaluation accounts operate in a simulated trading environment designed to evaluate trading performance, risk management discipline, and the trader's ability to operate within predefined risk parameters.

1. Evaluation Account Structure

EdgeProp provides multiple evaluation account sizes designed to accommodate different trading styles, risk tolerances, and position sizing strategies.

Each evaluation account includes the following parameters:

Starting Capital
Profit Target
Trailing Drawdown Threshold
Maximum Position Size
Monthly Evaluation Subscription Fee

Account Size	Profit Target	Trailing Drawdown	Max Contracts	Evaluation Fee
$50,000	$3,000	$2,500	10 (or 100 micros)	$150
$75,000	$4,500	$3,000	11 (or 120 micros)	$180
$100,000	$6,000	$3,500	15 (or 150 micros)	$250
$150,000	$9,000	$4,500	20 (or 200 micros)	$350
$200,000	$12,000	$6,000	20 (or 200 micros)	$450

The evaluation fee is charged monthly and keeps the evaluation account active. Traders may continue trading as long as the subscription remains active and no rule violations occur.

2. Profit Target

The profit target represents the amount of profit required to successfully complete the evaluation phase.

Example – $200,000 Account

Starting Balance: $200,000

Profit Target: $12,000

Required Balance to Pass: $212,000

3. Minimum Trading Days

To ensure consistent market participation, traders must complete a minimum number of trading days before becoming eligible for funding.

Minimum of 7 trading days
Trading days do not need to be consecutive
No minimum number of trades per day
Trades must include real market exposure

4. Trailing Drawdown Threshold

The trailing drawdown threshold represents the minimum equity level that must be maintained during the evaluation.

Trailing Drawdown Threshold = Peak Equity − Drawdown Distance

The drawdown distance remains fixed depending on the selected account size.

5. Maximum Position Size

Maximum Position Size defines the maximum number of futures contracts that can be open simultaneously across all markets.

Example

✓ Allowed: 6 ES + 4 NQ = 10 contracts

✗ Not allowed: 6 ES + 6 NQ = 12 contracts

1 Standard Contract = 10 Micro Contracts

6. Funded Account Rules

After successfully completing the evaluation and passing the funding review, the account transitions into a Funded Account.

One-time activation fee: $80
Contract scaling begins at 50% of evaluation contract size
40% consistency rule applies to funded accounts
Payout requests available every 5 trading days
