Program Types & Payout Rules

How drawdown and payouts work across EdgeOne, EdgeCore, and EdgeX.

Written by Maria

End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown

EdgeOne uses an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model. The trailing threshold is recalculated once per day, at the close of each trading session, based on your official end-of-day balance. Intraday fluctuations do not move the threshold.

How drawdown works

  • Trailing drawdown recalculated based on end-of-day balance only

  • No intraday liquidation from temporary drawdowns during the session

  • Allows trades to fluctuate freely throughout the day

  • If balance is at or below the threshold at end of day, the account is failed

Funded account — payout rules

  • Minimum 5 profitable trading days (≥ $200/day) before each payout

  • Consistency rule: best single day must not exceed 40% of total cumulative profit

  • Safety Net must be reached before the first payout can be requested

  • Mandatory compliance audit before every payout

  • No active rule breaches during the payout period

EdgeCore

Intraday Trailing Drawdown

EdgeCore uses an intraday real-time trailing drawdown model. The trailing threshold follows your peak equity continuously throughout the trading session. If your account balance touches or drops below the threshold at any point during trading hours, the account is immediately failed — regardless of any subsequent intraday recovery.

How drawdown works

  • Trailing threshold updates continuously in real time throughout the session

  • A breach at any intraday point fails the account immediately

  • Encourages tighter intraday risk control and discipline

Funded account — payout rules

  • Minimum 5 profitable trading days (≥ $200/day) before each payout

  • Consistency rule: best single day must not exceed 40% of total cumulative profit

  • Safety Net must be reached before the first payout can be requested

  • Mandatory compliance audit before every payout

  • No active rule breaches during the payout period

EdgeX

End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown — No Payout Restrictions

EdgeX is a premium program designed for experienced traders who want maximum flexibility. It uses an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model — the same drawdown methodology as EdgeOne.

How drawdown works

  • Trailing drawdown recalculated at the close of each trading session

  • No intraday liquidation from temporary drawdowns

  • Drawdown locks permanently once the Safety Net is reached at end of day

Funded account — payout rules

In EdgeX funded accounts, most standard payout restrictions are removed. The following conditions still apply:

  • Minimum 5 profitable trading days (≥ $200/day) before each payout

  • Account balance must be above the Safety Net

  • Only profit above the Safety Net may be withdrawn

  • Minimum payout request: $500

  • Maximum per request: $2,500 – $3,500 for payouts 1–5 / $5,000 for payout 6+

No consistency rules. No minimum profit cycles. Meet the 5 profitable trading days requirement, stay above the Safety Net, and withdraw anytime.

Note: While payout rules are relaxed, prohibited trading activities (hedging, copy trading, account sharing, etc.) still apply to all EdgeX accounts.

What Is the Safety Net?

The Safety Net is the minimum account balance level that must be maintained at all times in a funded account. It is calculated as:

Safety Net = Starting Balance + Trailing Drawdown + $100

Once your peak equity touches the Safety Net, the trailing threshold locks permanently for the life of the account. In EdgeX, any profit above this level can be withdrawn at any time. In EdgeOne and EdgeCore, the Safety Net must be reached before the first payout can be requested.
