Best EOD (end-of-day) drawdown funded futures firms

Funded futures firms that offer an end-of-day (EOD) drawdown evaluation — where your trailing loss limit is measured on your closed daily balance instead of your intraday peak.

7 firmsDataset reviewed May 22, 2026

What EOD drawdown means for your account

End-of-day (EOD) drawdown trails your account's maximum loss limit using your balance at the daily close, not your highest intraday equity. That means open profit you give back during the session does not pull your drawdown line up the way intraday trailing does — a meaningful edge for traders who let winners run. Each firm below offers an EOD evaluation; some also offer trailing or account-specific variants, so read each firm's exact rule and the payout and consistency rules alongside it.

Frequently asked

What is EOD (end-of-day) drawdown on a funded futures account?

EOD drawdown trails your maximum loss limit based on your account balance at the end of each trading day, rather than your highest intraday equity. Open profit you give back during the day does not raise your drawdown threshold, which is generally friendlier to traders who hold winners.

Which funded futures firms offer EOD (end-of-day) drawdown evaluations?

Based on the current Funded Firm Radar dataset, these firms offer EOD (end-of-day) drawdown evaluations: Topstep, Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader, FundedNext Futures, Earn2Trade.

Compare every rule before you buy an evaluation

Firm rules, payouts, and coupons change often. Read the rule risk first, then pick the firm that fits how you actually trade.

Key terms

EOD (end-of-day) drawdown
Your maximum-loss line trails on your balance at the daily close, not your highest intraday equity. Open profit you give back during the day does not pull the line up against you.
Trailing drawdown
Your maximum-loss line trails your highest intraday equity, so profit you reach and then give back can move the line up against you.
Daily loss limit (DLL)
A cap on how much you can lose in a single trading day — some firms call it a Daily Loss Guard. A few make it optional during the evaluation.
Consistency rule
Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single best day, so one outlier session can't carry a pass or a payout.
Activation fee
A one-time fee to turn a passed evaluation into a funded account, charged on top of the evaluation price.
Profit split
The share of payouts you keep. A 90/10 split means you keep 90% and the firm keeps 10%.
Buffer
Profit you have to build (and usually keep above) before withdrawals unlock. Firm- and plan-specific.
XFA / PA
Firm-specific funded-account names: XFA is Topstep's Express Funded Account; PA is Apex's Performance Account.
Sim-funded / LiveSim
Simulated-funded accounts — you trade firm capital in a simulated environment, not your own live money, until later stages.
