The drawdown decision

Apex Trader Funding

Considering Apex? Start with how the loss limit moves.

Apex’s EOD and Intraday routes ask you to manage risk differently. Choose the drawdown model before deciding how large an account to buy.

Overview

Apex Trader Funding

For Apex, the useful comparison starts with the rule model, then the evaluation window, then the Performance Account conditions. Read the PA rules separately: passing an evaluation and becoming eligible for a payout are different milestones.

The drawdown decision

What usually happens while your winning trade is still open?

Pick the situation closest to your routine.

I often give back some open profit

Look closely at when the high-water mark updates. An intraday trail can reduce your remaining room before you close the trade; an end-of-day update works differently.

I close quickly and keep risk tightly controlled

Still compare the loss allowance with your normal trade risk. A larger account label does not mean you can lose that entire balance.

I am not sure what trailing means

Start with the loss-limit explanation below. Understand what moves the floor and what happens when you touch it before purchasing.

  1. Choose a drawdown route

    Compare EOD with Intraday before choosing account size.

  2. Complete the evaluation

    Meet the target within the applicable access window and respect the loss threshold.

  3. Read the PA conditions

    Activation, scaling and payout requirements are a separate decision after passing.

Choose your route

Compare the programme, account size and fees together. Simulated capital is not your purchase price.

EOD Evaluation

The drawdown threshold updates at the daily close and is enforced during the next session. The evaluation has a 30-day access period.

Who this may suit

Traders who want to understand a fixed session floor before placing trades.

Worth knowing before you pay

The floor still applies intraday. Reaching the daily loss limit pauses trading; touching the overall threshold fails the evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Does EOD mean losses are only checked at the close?+

No. The threshold is set from the daily-close calculation, but it is enforced during the following session.

Can I wait indefinitely to activate after passing?+

The EOD evaluation documentation gives a seven-day PA activation window. Check your dashboard deadline before paying.
