EdgeCore vs EdgeOne vs EdgeX: Which Evaluation Plan Should You Choose?

EdgeProp offers three one-step futures evaluation plans: EdgeCore, EdgeOne, and EdgeX. The main difference is how trailing drawdown is calculated. Their funded account consistency and scaling rules also differ.

All accounts are simulated. Account size represents a simulated starting balance, not capital deposited into your personal trading account.

The key difference: intraday vs EOD trailing drawdown

A trailing drawdown is the account’s moving risk threshold. If your account reaches or falls below its applicable threshold, it may fail.

EdgeCore: intraday trailing drawdown

On EdgeCore, the threshold can move upward during the trading day as your account reaches a new equity high, including unrealized profit on open positions.

For example, if an open trade moves into profit and then reverses, the higher intraday equity may already have moved your drawdown threshold. This makes it especially important to monitor open positions and available drawdown throughout the session.

EdgeOne and EdgeX: EOD trailing drawdown

On EdgeOne and EdgeX, the trailing threshold is recalculated at the end of the trading day. During the session, you trade against the threshold established from the previous EOD calculation.

EOD trailing does not mean you can ignore the threshold during the day. Reaching or falling below the active threshold can still result in a failed account.

Position limits apply to your combined open positions, not separately to each instrument. One standard contract counts as ten micro contracts toward the equivalent limit.

The seven evaluation trading days do not need to be consecutive. Trades must represent genuine market exposure to count as qualifying trading activity.

What happens after passing the evaluation?

After you reach the profit target, complete the required trading days, and pass the account review, you can proceed toward an EdgeProp funded account under the rules of your selected plan.

The funded stage is where two further differences become important:

Consistency

EdgeCore and EdgeOne have a 40% funded consistency rule: your largest profitable day must not account for more than 40% of your total accumulated profit when assessed for a payout.

For example, if your accumulated profit is $5,000, your largest profitable day must be no more than $2,000 to meet a 40% limit.

EdgeX has no funded consistency rule. Other payout, risk, and conduct requirements still apply.

Contract scaling

EdgeCore and EdgeOne are subject to the funded contract scaling plan. Your available position size may initially be lower than the maximum permitted during evaluation and increase under the applicable scaling rules.

EdgeX does not use the funded contract scaling plan. You must still stay within the position limit and all other rules shown for your account.

Which plan is right for me?

Choose EdgeCore if you are comfortable with an intraday drawdown threshold that can respond to unrealized gains. Pay close attention to your equity high and open positions.

Choose EdgeOne if you prefer EOD trailing drawdown and are comfortable with the funded consistency and scaling rules.

Choose EdgeX if you prefer EOD trailing drawdown and want a funded plan without the 40% consistency rule or contract scaling plan.

The right choice depends on how you manage open trade profits, position size, and payout eligibility. A larger simulated account size also has a larger profit target, so consider the complete set of parameters before choosing.

Frequently asked questions

Do any of the plans have a daily loss limit?

No. EdgeCore, EdgeOne, and EdgeX do not have a separate daily loss limit. The trailing drawdown and other trading rules still apply.

Can I pass an evaluation in one day?

No. Each evaluation requires at least seven qualifying trading days, even if you reach the profit target sooner.

Does “no consistency rule” mean EdgeX has no trading rules?

No. EdgeX remains subject to its drawdown threshold, position limit, and other applicable trading and payout rules.

Is the evaluation fee a monthly subscription?

No. EdgeProp describes the evaluation fee as a one-time payment and states that there is no recurring monthly evaluation subscription. Check the selected product page and checkout for the price that applies to your purchase.

Where can I read the full evaluation rules?

Read EdgeProp Evaluation Accounts – Rules, Parameters & Funding Process and review the rules displayed for your selected plan before purchasing.

Account parameters and offers may change. Your selected product page, checkout, and applicable account agreement should be reviewed for the terms of your purchase.
