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.
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.
Sim-funded / LiveSim: Simulated-funded accounts — you trade firm capital in a simulated environment, not your own live money, until later stages.
