Apex Trader Funding: Trailing drawdown (locks at start + $100)

ConditionalVoids accountVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

Your max-loss line trails your highest equity up but never comes back down, and on Intraday accounts it trails in real time off UNREALIZED (open-equity) peaks. It stops trailing permanently once the threshold reaches your starting balance + $100 — so the worst you can ever be liquidated at becomes start + $100. EOD accounts trail off the end-of-day balance instead.

The gotcha

It trails on unrealized equity: if you're up $400 open and give it back, the threshold already moved up — you can be liquidated even though your CLOSED P&L never hit the limit.
