The Evaluation Fee is a one-time payment required to access the evaluation.

There are no recurring monthly subscription fees.

Your evaluation remains active until:

  • You successfully pass the evaluation.

  • You violate one or more trading rules.

  • The account is reset or closed.


2. Profit Target

Each evaluation account has a predefined profit target that must be achieved before becoming eligible for funding.

Example – $200,000 Evaluation

  • Starting Balance: $200,000

  • Profit Target: $12,000

  • Balance Required to Pass: $212,000

There is no maximum time limit to complete the evaluation.

Trade at your own pace while remaining within the account rules.


3. Minimum Trading Days

To promote consistent trading habits, every evaluation requires a minimum trading history before becoming eligible for funding.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 7 Trading Days

  • Trading days do not need to be consecutive

  • No minimum number of trades per day

  • Trades must involve genuine market exposure

A Trading Day is counted when at least one qualifying trade has been executed.


4. Trailing Drawdown Threshold

The Trailing Drawdown Threshold is the primary risk management rule during the evaluation.

It represents the minimum account equity that must be maintained throughout the evaluation.

Formula

Trailing Drawdown Threshold = Highest Account Equity − Drawdown Distance

The drawdown distance depends on the selected account size and remains fixed throughout the evaluation.

If account equity reaches or falls below the trailing threshold, the evaluation will immediately fail.

For a complete explanation, please refer to:

Understanding the Trailing Drawdown Threshold


5. Maximum Position Size

Each evaluation account has a maximum number of futures contracts that may be held simultaneously across all supported markets.

Example

✅ Allowed

  • 6 ES + 4 NQ = 10 Contracts

❌ Not Allowed

  • 6 ES + 6 NQ = 12 Contracts

Contract Conversion

  • 1 Standard Contract = 10 Micro Contracts

The maximum contract limit applies to the combined total of all open positions.


6. Included Platform Licenses

Every EdgeProp Evaluation Account includes a full license for the trading platform selected during checkout.

Supported platforms may include:

  • Bookmap

  • ATAS

  • Jigsaw Daytradr

  • Quantower

  • WealthCharts

  • VolBook

  • MotiveWave

  • Sierra Chart

  • NinjaTrader

  • R|Trader Pro

  • and any other platform displayed on the product landing page or checkout.

No additional platform license purchase is required.

Your selected platform license is included with your evaluation exactly as described on the checkout page or product landing page.


7. Funded Account Activation

After successfully completing the evaluation and passing the funding review, your account becomes eligible for activation as an EdgeProp Funded Account.

An activation fee is required before your funded account is issued.

The activation fee varies depending on the selected account size and account type (EdgeOne or EdgeX).

Account Size

$50,000

$60

$75,000

$75

$100,000

$150,000

Important

  • Activation Fee is paid only once.

  • There are no recurring funded account fees.

  • The activation fee is non-refundable.

  • Pricing varies according to the selected account size and account type.

  • Once activated, traders receive access to their funded account and become eligible for payouts under the applicable funded account rules.


8. Funded Account Rules

Once your funded account has been activated:

  • Trading begins with 50% of the maximum evaluation contract size

  • Payout requests become available every 5 qualifying trading days

  • All funded account risk management rules apply

Funded accounts are designed to reward consistency while protecting trading capital through predefined risk parameters.


9. Consistency Rule

EdgeOne Accounts

EdgeOne Funded Accounts are subject to the 40% Consistency Rule.

Your largest profitable trading day may not exceed 40% of your total accumulated profits.

Example

Total Profit:

$5,000

Largest Winning Day Allowed:

$2,000

This encourages consistent profitability rather than relying on a single oversized trading day.


EdgeX Accounts

EdgeX Funded Accounts are completely exempt from the Consistency Rule.

There is no consistency requirement for EdgeX traders, allowing greater flexibility in profit generation while remaining subject to all other funded account rules.


10. Contract Scaling

All funded accounts begin with 50% of the maximum contracts available during the evaluation.

As traders demonstrate responsible risk management and consistent performance, contract limits may be increased according to the EdgeProp Contract Scaling Plan.

For additional information, please refer to:

  • Contract Scaling Plan

  • Payout Rules


11. Risk Management Reminder

Breaching the Trailing Drawdown Threshold immediately results in a failed evaluation account.

Every trader is responsible for monitoring:

  • Account Equity

  • Unrealized Profit & Loss

  • Open Positions

  • Remaining Drawdown

  • Overall Risk Exposure

Maintaining disciplined risk management is essential for successfully completing the evaluation and preserving funded account eligibility.
