Research notes
Apex has current official pages for EOD and Intraday evaluation/performance account mechanics. Current EOD and Intraday evaluation pages state no minimum trading days, while Performance Account payout eligibility still uses qualifying-day requirements. EOD, Intraday, and legacy accounts have separate rules, so FirmFax keeps these account rows separate and treats daily-loss fields as plan-specific.
