End-of-day (EOD) drawdown calculates your max loss off the previous trading day's close rather than trailing unrealized profit intraday. That's friendlier to traders who scale into winners because a dip inside a profitable day doesn't move the drawdown line.
Ranked: eod drawdown futures prop firms
| # | Firm | Drawdown type | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DayTraders Drawdown locks at end of day, intraday profits that retrace before the close do not raise your drawdown line, so the target can take longer than a trailing model. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $50 | |
| 2 | Lucid LucidTest and LucidPro have different drawdown, payout, and consistency rules, assuming one program's rules apply to the other is how traders fail payouts. | Hybrid (EOD + trailing) Cheapest eval $72 | |
| 3 | AquaFutures End-of-day drawdown looks friendly on paper but means the drawdown line does not step up until the session closes, sizing into a winner intraday still gives back every tick of risk room at the next session open. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $75 | |
| 4 | TradeDay The end-of-day drawdown only adjusts against your closing balance, so open profits that retrace before the close do not raise the line, hitting the target can take longer than a trailing model. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $79 | |
| 5 | BlueGuardian Futures Rules for the futures product differ from BlueGuardian's CFD/forex programs, applying forex-side assumptions (leverage, weekend hold) to the futures product is the fastest way to breach. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $80 | |
| 6 | MyFundedFutures Each program (Starter, Expert, Milestone) has its own drawdown, payout, and consistency rules, buying the wrong tier for your style is the most common way traders get caught out. | Hybrid (EOD + trailing) Cheapest eval $80 | |
| 7 | Take Profit Trader End-of-day drawdown calculates off closed equity only, traders who rely on unrealized profit cushions during the day can be caught out if they don't bank profits before the daily reset. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $90 | |
| 8 | Tradeify The Advanced program's drawdown trails by end-of-day equity, the line only moves up on closed sessions, so sizing up mid-day without banking profits can leave the drawdown well below your current equity. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $97 | |
| 9 | FundedNext Futures FundedNext's futures and CFD products share a brand but not a rule set, importing assumptions from CFD pages can lead to failed payouts on the futures side. | End-of-day Cheapest eval $113 |
