This page shows the 25 products with the lowest cost to get funded at 50K (of 59 that match). Filters and sorting here apply to these 25. Compare all of them in the full table: Futures (21 firms)
How we selected these firms
- The firm’s main program uses end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown (verified on the firm’s rules).
- Products with a different model are still shown in the per-product table with their own model.
How end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown works
With an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown, the firm looks at your balance once per trading day, at the close. If the closing balance is a new high, the drawdown floor moves up by the same amount. During the day the floor stays where it was, so open profit that you give back before the close does not cost you room.
Most EOD models stop trailing once the floor reaches the starting balance (the “lock”), after which the floor stays fixed. The exact trigger differs per firm.
Worked example on a real account
Take Lucid Trading 100K LucidPro Evaluation: $100,000 starting balance and $3,000 maximum drawdown, profit target $6,000. Below is a hypothetical four-day path (the trades are invented; the account rules are real). The last three columns show where the floor sits during each day under each model.
Under end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown the account survives all four days; on day 4 the low of $98,950 stays $450 above the floor.
Day 3 shows the difference with intraday trailing: the open-profit peak does not move the EOD floor, only the closing balance does.
| Day | High | Low | Close | Intraday floor | EOD floor | Static floor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | $101,200 | $100,150 | $100,900 | $98,200 | $97,000 | $97,000 |
| Day 2 | $101,650 | $100,750 | $101,500 | $98,650 | $97,900 | $97,000 |
| Day 3 | $102,400 | $100,450 | $100,600 | $99,400 | $98,500 | $97,000 |
| Day 4 | $100,750 | $98,950 | $99,100 | $99,400 hit | $98,500 | $97,000 |
Which firms use it
21 of 78 firms (27%) use end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown on their main program: 21 of 28 Futures firms, 0 of 42 Forex & CFD firms, 0 of 7 Crypto firms. A firm can use a different model on individual products or on the funded account; the table shows the model per product.
How to trade this model
Practical points:
- Take profit before the close on days you would otherwise give it back: only the closing balance moves the floor.
- Watch the lock: once the floor reaches the starting balance it stops moving, so later profit is pure cushion.
- A daily loss limit, if the firm has one, still counts intraday.
FAQ
What is end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown?
With an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown, the firm looks at your balance once per trading day, at the close. If the closing balance is a new high, the drawdown floor moves up by the same amount. During the day the floor stays where it was, so open profit that you give back before the close does not cost you room.
Which drawdown type is easiest to pass?
Static is the easiest to plan, end-of-day trailing is usually the most forgiving trailing model, and trailing intraday is the strictest because open profit moves the floor. The profit target and daily loss limit also matter.
Does the drawdown stop trailing?
At most firms the trailing floor stops (locks) at the starting balance or a small buffer above it. The trigger differs per firm; see our guide to the drawdown lock.
Is the funded account drawdown the same as in the evaluation?
Often, but not always. Some firms switch from intraday to end-of-day trailing (or the reverse) on funded accounts. The firm page shows a separate funded drawdown when we verified one.
