In short: Drawdown is the account's loss limit. With EOD it only moves at the day's close; with intraday it moves with every new high, even mid-day.
What it means for you
Apex Trader Funding Intraday Trail Standard 50K: $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown
The floor follows every new high, even inside the day: a pullback after a run-up can end the account.
Apex Trader Funding EOD Trail Standard 50K: $2,000 end-of-day (EOD) drawdown
The floor moves only at the close, from the closing balance: a pullback inside the day does not move it.

The full explanation
End-of-day (EOD) and intraday labels describe when a trailing threshold is updated. A label alone does not explain every detail: providers may apply different mechanics by plan and funding stage. The plan tables below preserve the distinctions recorded in this dataset.

Questions
What is the difference between EOD and intraday drawdown?
An EOD (end-of-day) drawdown moves only at the day's close, from your closing balance. An intraday drawdown trails every new high, including open profit during the day, so a winning trade that turns around can still use up your limit.
Which futures prop firms offer an EOD drawdown?
In our data, all 14 firms offer an EOD drawdown on at least one plan. See futures prop firms with EOD drawdown for plans and prices.
How much should I risk per trade with a prop firm drawdown?
Our calculators cap one trade at 10% of the drawdown: $200 on a $2,000 drawdown. The position size calculator turns that into contracts for your stop.
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Prop firm evaluations are paid products; most traders do not pass.
