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.
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
