Apex EOD and Intraday use the same account sizes, targets and drawdown amounts, but the floor moves differently. That mechanic matters more than the price difference.
All time-sensitive figures below were checked against current Apex product and help pages on August 10, 2026. Apex can change checkout pricing and account rules, so the purchased dashboard remains the controlling source.
What is the main difference between Apex EOD and Intraday?
Apex EOD waits for the day-end balance before raising the trailing floor. Apex Intraday can raise the floor from unrealized profit during the session, so a winning trade can tighten risk before it is closed.
How do EOD and Intraday prices compare?
As of August 2026, Intraday is cheaper at every size. EOD ranges from $390 to $1,490, while Intraday ranges from $167 to $599.
| Size | EOD eval | Intraday eval | Target | Drawdown | EOD DLL | Eval contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $390 | $167 | $1,500 | $1,000 | $500 | 4 |

| $150K | $1,490 | $599 | $9,000 | $4,000 | $2,000 | 12 |
How do PA prices compare?
Standard EOD PA prices range from $99 to $159. Standard Intraday PA prices range from $69 to $129. The No Activation Fee choice changes the upfront checkout comparison.
| Size | EOD PA price | Intraday PA price |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $99 | $69 |
| $50K | $129 | $79 |
| $100K | $139 | $99 |
| $150K | $159 | $129 |
Which product handles giveback better?
EOD handles intraday giveback better because the floor is not lifted by an unrealized peak. Intraday is less forgiving when a runner gives back profit before exit.
Which product is better for scalping?
Intraday can fit scalpers who close positions quickly, use tight stops and rarely hold through pullbacks. The lower price is useful only if the trailing mechanic matches the strategy.
Which product is better for most traders?
EOD is the safer default for most discretionary traders because drawdown behavior causes more failures than the extra fee. The DLL still requires a separate daily risk cap.
The bottom line
Apex EOD wins for most discretionary traders because its floor is easier to manage. Intraday wins only when short hold times and tight exits make unrealized-peak trailing a controlled risk.
