Passing the Evaluation
To successfully pass an EOD Evaluation, traders must demonstrate profitability and compliance with the EOD drawdown rules. The evaluation is designed to confirm that traders can manage risk and build profit under the same EOD drawdown structure they will encounter in their funded Performance Account (PA), before additional scaling and consistency rules are introduced.
To pass an evaluation, you must:
- Reach the profit target
- Not reach EOD Drawdown level at any point
There is no minimum number of trading days required. You may pass as soon as the profit target is reached, provided all rules are respected. How to check if you passed the evaluation
Once passed, you will have 7 calendar days to activate your corresponding EOD Performance Account (PA).

Trading Rules
1. Do Not Breach the EOD Drawdown
The End-of-Day (EOD) Threshold defines the lowest allowable account balance. The threshold is calculated once per day at market close, based on the account’s EOD balance. Once calculated, the threshold becomes active and enforceable during the next trading session.
The account may experience temporary drawdowns throughout the trading session, but it may never touch the EOD Threshold level itself. If at any moment during the trading session the account balance touches or falls below the EOD Threshold, all open positions are automatically liquidated, and the evaluation is immediately failed. To continue trading, you would need to start over with a new evaluation purchase.
2. No Prohibited Trading Activity
You may not pass Evaluation Accounts by hedging them against each other. Evaluations must be completed using independent, directional trading, not offsetting positions across accounts.
All trading must follow Apex Trader Funding risk and conduct guidelines. Engaging in prohibited activities, including hedging violations or any form of rule circumvention, will result in immediate account closure.
